A fly buzzed all about
To find a passage out;
Then on the window sill
A minute stood quite still.
I thought he was asleep
And caught him just to keep;
He looked so fine a fellow
With rings of black and yellow.
He scolded dreadfully
And stuck a pin in me.
I dropped him pretty quick;
My hand was awful sick.
