“The Swatted Fly”
An iambic tetrameter poem by Zach Kennedy
A fly flies into a small house
It loudly buzzed past the man’s spouse
The spouse screamed and grabbed the swatter
She swatted at it — now harder.
And finally, the fly gave in
So there it was, extremely thin.
So thin it could have been paper
Its body gone like clear vapor.
Now that it’s hard as some metal
All flies cry on flower petals.
For their favorite fly is dead
Now the fly moves like it is lead.
