SWAT ME NOT

SWAT ME NOT!

** Image ID #810689 Unavailable **

I will not soon forget
The dream I had last night;
I dreamed that it was summertime
And woke up with a fright!

I dreamed that I had shrunk
To a size smaller than a fly;
My ears were filled with buzzing
And I looked up at a wicked eye.

A fly much bigger than a house
Had grabbed my old flyswatter;
It came at me as I stood there
And the air was getting hotter!

"Swat me not, you wicked fly!
For when I'm big again;
You'll wish you could fly away"
Just like I was wishing then!

Now I have bashed a fly or two,
I really didn't think much of it;
But from now on I'll think again
Although I'll never "love" it.

I may just "shoo" the fly away
With as much grace as I can muster;
'Cause dreaming I was insect size
Made me feel like General Custer!
