On The Fly

Ten little flies
All in a line;
One got a swat
And then there were nine.

Nine little flies
Grimly sedate,
Licking their chops
Swat! There were. . .

Eight little flies
Raising some more
Swat! Swat! Swat! Swat!
Then there were. . .

Four little flies
Colored green-blue;
Swat! (Ain't it easy!)
Then there were. . .

Two little flies
Dodged the civilian
And early next day
There were a million.

UNKNOWN.
