Today I watched a fly get drunk
and converse with a lizard
They were stuck behind closed doors
because there was a blizzard
Touching stories were exchanged
along with pictures of the kids
but another lizard came along
and on the fly they bid
and converse with a lizard
They were stuck behind closed doors
because there was a blizzard
Touching stories were exchanged
along with pictures of the kids
but another lizard came along
and on the fly they bid
"No! Please Sir! How could you?"
"You know so much of me!"
"Please, Mr. Lizard, let me go!"
"Back to my family."
Those lizards thought, long and hard
tummies grumbling
But in the end, they let him go
and walked off mumbling

I am glad you like it!
I wrote this 11 years ago while I was waiting tables in college. I worked in a little greek place that had the best food in the world, but wasn't very busy. I was so fucking bored one lunch shift, I was watching a fly doing his thing in small puddles of beer in the plastic tray under the beer taps. I was thinking it was sad that he'd only live for 12 hours and I wanted to write a little story about him. :)
