Why a Fly?

April 11, 2021

Earlier today there was a fly

Buzzing around my head

And I had a thought:

Flight is a truly spectacular thing

There are so many creatures on Earth

Capable of it

Yet there is only one whose name

Is derived from the phenomenon itself

There are lots of things that fly

And we chose this wingèd nuisance why?

Something wrong with this poem?
