The Fly

The enemy is gone,

Dead, eliminated.

Now as weak as a fawn.

I'm glad it has fled.

Surrendered to my weapon,

And now it lays, dead.

It took me a while

To track it down and kill,

But now it is still, and I smile.

You are wondering why

I have killed someone,

Why I said good-bye.

Well, her is why:

My weapon is a flyswatter,

My enemy a fly.
