Buzz
There's a fly in my ear,
and I cannot get it out.
It buzzes and buzzes,
Until the sun has a drought.
I ask for advice,
And they say eat healthy.
What will it do for the fly?
I cannot eat that, it’s filthy.
Do I wash it out,
Or pick it with a lock?
I get told it’s made up,
a shock.
Pleading for help,
I get turned down.
This time to another person,
not one in a gown.
They claim the doctor can help,
I cry from rejoice!
But the fly in my ear,
It has a voice.
It feels as if it is a part of me.
A two in one package.
The fly and the girl,
I think we will manage.
