Housefly



Once upon a time, there was a Housefly.
A Housefly with two beautiful housefly eyes.
Housefly flew all over land, with a flitter and a bounce.
Housefly asks, am I a little polar bear?
All the beings looked at the housefly,
and they saw a housefly.
No they said.
Sad little housefly decides, she is not a polar bear.
Housefly continues flying around with a flitter and a bounce.
She asks, am I a flying dolphin?
All the beings looked again,
and they saw a housefly.
No, they said again.
Sad little housefly decides, she is not a flying dolphin too.
She continues flying,
but the flitter is gone and the bounce is lost.
Giraffe saw Housefly.
Giraffe asked housefly, where is your flitter and your bounce?
Housefly says, I'm no polar bear, I'm no flying dolphin, I'm nothing but Housefly.
I do not want housefly's flitter nor housefly's bounce.
But, Housefly, don't you know,
Polar bear is in you.
Flying dolphin is in you.
They're all inside you.
In your heart.
Where no one can steal them away from you.
Housefly, with a flitter and a bounce, flew off.
Off into the clear blue sky.

Giraffe blinked, and whispered,
even without polar bear and flying dolphin,
Housefly, you've got two beautiful housefly eyes.
