“The Drunk Fly”

“Mr. Bumper: The Drunk Fly”

I’m a fly window thumper

My name can’t be missed, Mr. Bumper.

I love those big glass windows

As I can’t bruise easily; I don’t have a nose.

When I go so fast just buzzing around

No headache do I get, for the pound.

That is why I’m a window thumper

And not a rear car end bumper.

That lamp coxed me to come in

To have a drink from a bottle of gin

I’m getting a bit too sloshed, can barely see

Turn, that light off, I got to pee.

Woman comes round; please let me sleep

I’m a dopey drunk fly, a mangy creep.

I’ll just take my bumps and go to sleep

I’ll be quiet, not a single peep.

I’ve had it, I’ll drink no more

Bottles empty, nothing to pour

Coffee is hot, now do I cheer?

Can’t drink it; it’s hot and smells like beer.

ZZZZZ
