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

Ach! I just noticed I reused "freak".
