When I was six my mama said
\nShe’d pay me for each ten
\nFlies I got alive or dead
\nA penny.<\/p>\n

So I wandered room to room
\nSwatter cocked to kill….<\/p>\n

\"MamaDidYouK_MakeAHat-6\"<\/a>
\nListening for the tell-tale buzz
\nOf a fly on a windowsill.<\/p>\n

\"MamaDidYouK_MakeAHat-5\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Whap! Would go the swatter.
\nSplat! Another fly.
\nWhappity-wahappity, WHAP! SPLAT! WHAP!
\nDie. Die. Die.<\/p>\n

Soon the hunt was over.
\nNot a fly remained.
\nThe windowsills were dotted black;
\nthe swatter smeared and stained.<\/p>\n

 
\n\"MamaDidYouK_MakeAHat-3\"<\/a>
\nI collected all the bodies
\nTo see what death would bring:
\nMama paid me seventeen cents
\n(and some were only wings!).<\/p>\n

Today at school we learned about
\nHow baby seals die:<\/p>\n

\nOut of all those flies?”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
