Okay, a bit of explanation: this was just something I jotted down whilst in a particularly boring chemistry lesson. I noticed a fly desperately trying to knock himself out by banging his head against the window and this is what I got out of it.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Fly, Fly!

The teacher’s mouth is moving,

But I don’t catch a word,

A panicked, rage-filled buzzing

Is all that can be heard.

There’s a fly who is cornered,

Trapped in the science lab.

I know why he is angry,

He hears this tutor blab.

He’s flitting and he’s yelling,

I listen to him shout.

He bangs against the window,

He’s trying to get out.

I really want to help him,

I want to set him free,

I yearn to aid him because

This creature’s just like me.

Why should I be stuck inside

On such a lovely day?

When all that I want to do

Is go outside and play.

And suddenly, I exclaim,

‘I’m gunna lose my mind!’

I then leap through the window,

With the fly close behind.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Just so you know, the last part didn’t actually happen. . . . . I don’t think.
