Fly Trap

A Poem by Michelle Gent

A play on the expression wish to be a fly on the wall

Fly Trap-

So you wish to be a fly on the wall
Need a bug placed by a private investigator
Well I'm the pest to call
I'll give you the poop scoop, dear

Small, fast, undetectable that's me
No common house flea, that's for sure
Lest that buzzing in your ear
That would be me, don't adjust your hearing aid

I do my best thinking when I hum
It helps me concentrate
There's no outrunning my radar
I'm infallible, untraceable, impenetrable
I'm as good as they come

Just one warning or rule of fum
People are flawed
you may get more than your bargained for
I just want you to be sure

Now that we're on the same page
Let's get down to business
Hum, mum, dah, dum, dee, da, dum
I know I'm on the right track, I feel it in my bones
I can just about taste it

Splat!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Dam!
Dumb founded fly swatter
Why does everything look like waffles?
Still want to be that fly on the wall?
