said Flint to the fly on the fly tape
well, I got you now, you nasty bugger
the coffee table toppled from the weight
of his excited fist
tripping over his own untied shoe laces
as he tried to right himself
Flint broke his fall by breaking his own wrist
poor fly, poor Flint
he shouldn't have gloated
for all would have ended up better
if he had indeed missed................
