TO A FLY

—Junior Poems. — —First Prize.— Little Miss Fly with the gauzy wings, When the Summer time comes, to me it brings Fair Summer days, with their skies of blue, But, little fly, it also brings you. You see before me this little cage,. I hope it won’t put you in a rage, Because I like my food clean and sweet, Not trodden on by your little feet. Now, wee fly, with the diamond eye The time has come to say good-bye, The fly-paper mat is on the floor, Pray, wipe your feet e’er you pass the door.
