There once was a someone who swallowed a fly…
Why oh, why’d they swallow the fly?
(I guess she’ll die)
They Who Swallow A Fly...
There once was a someone who swallowed a spider
Which spun a drum and beat it inside’r;
They swallowed the spider to catch the fly…
Why oh why’d they swallow the fly?
(It’s awfully wry)
And oh, up next, they swallowed a nest
Filled with eggs and crawling with pests.
They swallowed the nest to quiet the spider,
Whose drum beat faster and faster inside’r!
They swallowed the spider to seize the fly
Who whispered and snickered and strung’er up tighter!
(I heard her cry…)
Now from the nest the eggs have hatched,
A wanting hunger bore deep and attached.
They swallowed their hunger to famish the instar
Who plundered the organs threaded amongst’er.
How could they have known the eggs would grow?
Larvae get big and bounce to-and-fro.
They swallowed the eggs for the spider to coddle,
A drum is now quiet for body’s arthropodal.
They swallowed the spider to cheat the fly
Why oh why’d they swallow the fly?
(Wish her bye-bye!)
Inside’r the bugs have filled up the mould
Pupating of sorts, away from the cold.
How could they have known the flys true intent:
An endeavor to change’r, or to augment?
(Greet them hello!)
