BUZZ

"BUG" verse 1
With a constant
buzz he
Flies happily
around the
garden, without
Knowledge of
the enemy, who
Waits in the
depths of
Concentration.
"BUG" verse 2
Flying in circles,
going
Upside-down in
the clean
summer air, his
Aerodynamically-
shaped wings
flutter so
Fast they seem
almost
Invisible.
"BUG" verse 3
The enemy spots
the prey, and
Lies still on the
background of the
Evergreen bush
in the shadiest
corner of
The garden so as
not to be
Seen.

"BUG" verse 4
In a frenzy of
excitement the
prey, foolishly,
Flies over the
evergreen
Bush in the
shadiest corner
of the
Garden where the
enemy, unknown
to the prey,
Waits.

"BUG" verse 5
Suddenly, the
prey, still in a
frenzy, becomes
Entangled with an
adhesive
substance, the
Dread of every
one of his kind
which
To this day he
had so cleverly
Avoided.
"BUG" verse 6
The prey,
emerging from
elation, realises
All too late
that he
Has been caught
in a
cunningly-built
Trap for his kind
and others who
carelessly
Enter.
"BUG" verse 7
The enemy, with
precision, walks
Over to the prey,
the hunted, and
Asks him when
he would like, in
The very near
future, to be
Eaten.
"BUG" verse 8
The prey, stuck
fast, replies "I'd
Rather NEVER be
eaten, thank
you" as he
plucks up
The courage to
talk, through
nervous shivers,
to
The being in
whose digestive
system he could
soon be
Residing.

"BUG" verse 9
The prey,
the hunted, then
looks around and
Sees his
once-friends,
now mere
Carcasses,
rotting in the
never-ending
Threads of
adhesive that
make this
cunningly-built
Trap.

"BUG" final line
"Eat me now,"
he says.
