Soma Mukherjee - Fly Fly - Fly Away

A fly in his
Short life
Grew up, fell in love
And found a good wife

Flying, buzzing around
Flaunting their six legs
Proud parents of
250 eggs

Theirs was a life
You would think so
But wait till you listen
To their unending woes

All the fuss
About their buzz
Their lifestyle
Declared vile

And if that was not enough
To make their life tough
They were even called self-invited bore
And were detested therefore

And every time they tried
To go near a batter
They were stalked
By humans with a swatter!

Where ever they went
People were so curt
But I guess that happens when you
Live in so much dirt
