The Fly and the Mighty



The thing in the web is appalling
One peek and our skin started crawling
A science-bred freak
that's trying to speak
One heave puts an end to its bawling

    Mix mammal with mere arthropod
    And the results will end up looking odd
    A fly head on a bloke
    Is a grisly joke
    And the punchline's man's head on fly's bod.

    A chip off some horrible block,
    the fly/man caused nausea and shock
    This hybrid of freaks
    who provided the shrieks
    was eclipsed by a very large rock
