Butt on a knife edge


Butt on a knife edge
Originally uploaded by radio4
A fly named Rutilia Formosa,
Likes to ride on the edge of a leaf.
"Why not fly," you might just "supposa."
Answer: "Causa she's not supposed ta!"

She's well equipped to ride the mono-rail.
She's got legs galore and marvelous tail.
She's a fly alright but she's shy as a theif,
That horrible little leaf riding beast.

You'll see her buzzing through the canopy.
You'll spot her instantaneously.
Her exoskeleton is shocking green,
Festooned with orange grafitti.

Remember she's shy but do not fear,
You won't surpise the little dear.
She's got compound eyes,
And one in the rear!

MOTO
