Some people have a dog
I have a fly
follows me around
more faithful I know not
keeps close to me
if I move he does
if I leave anything
on the kitchen table
could be a dog
he wolfs it
If I leap into bed late at night
pull the cover over
my head
and stick my nose out
coming up for air
he's made the perfect landing
you guess where
Would you keep a fly as a pet
take him out for a walk
with a mini-mini-scoop
for his little poopie-doop
would you take him out for a walk
a long one a short one
a last one?
