A superfly who loves pie had nine lives.
The Nine Lives of Superfly Guy!

The super fly named Guy
Loved to eat an apple pie.
He’d zip from plate to plate
And judge which was first rate.

As Mama swung her swatter
Guy flew around the glass of water.
Then Daddy had paper rolled up,
The fly hid near a paper cup.
Next old man Uncle Clute
Tried to hit him with his boot.
And Doris who was sun-tanned
Gave her best with her gloved hand.
Then there was serious cousin Fred
Slapped at Guy on his bald head.
My little brother Steve
Slapped hard on his shirt sleeve.
A thoughtful girl named Jeanette
Tried to get Guy with her fish net.
Alas smart boy named Claude
Aimed a well made paper wad.
And then there was Josh
Who spit out his yellow squash.

Now people can you see
That Guy would like to be free.
His nine times that he fled
When others might be dead.
But after apple pie
The poor bloke would not deny
The place he must not nap
Is on the leaf of a Venus flytrap!
