Me vs. the Fly

Invisible buzz rushing past my ear sends

Chills down my spine

A fly is near, a fly is near

Taunting me his transparent wings roar

Swish, swoosh, he dances in the air

He has no fear, he has no fear

Filthy little thing

Determined to land on my cup

Germs he’ll smear, germs he’ll smear

One million eyes watching me

Laughing in his power to ruin Goliath’s day

How he interferes, he interferes

The game is on, swatter in hand

This time David’s going down

Won’t shed a tear, won’t shed a tear

Passion grows with each

Swat he evades, so cunning

He disappears, he disappears

Not gone for good, he’ll be back

Zooming a victory lap around my head

I push it into high gear, into high gear

Whiz, whack, the battle rages on

Splat, dead carcass on the window

It’s all clear, it’s all clear

Victory is sweet, silence at last

Threat is squashed, I can now go on

The chill reappears, the chill reappears

Not a ghost, not a memory

His brother, back to avenge the kill

A fly is near, a fly is near
