I wrote this for my daughter. She hasn’t been too impressed with the story lines in a few of the beginner reader books. I thought this might help. She wasn’t too impressed with this either. At least she’s remembering to shut the door.
A fly went by.
And then another.
Mom started to scream.
She started to shudder.
Get the flyswatter.
Get the raid.
Those flies can’t live.
The can was sprayed.
Down they dropped
Onto the floor.
One and two
Then three and four.
Tiny carcasses
All around.
Feet in the air.
Wings on the ground.
Mom was happy.
Filled with glee.
Can in hand
She looked at me.
Who left the door open?
It wasn’t me!
I backed towards the door
and started to flee.
Out the door
and down the street.
I’m lucky
I have fast feet.
I’ll live to see
another day
That’s more than
those fly can say!
Yes, I am aware that I have very promising future as a childrens book writer. Thank you for mentioning it.
