Fly on the Wall



The pen picked a fight with the paper;
The four walls looked on in disdain.
The pen broke its nib in the caper,
But inflicted a horrible stain.

The pen lay there battered and broken;
The paper had two big black eyes.
No words were written or spoken,
Which surely should be no surprise.

The writer looked downcast and grim;
Frustration now welling within.
His chair creaked slightly beneath him.
His head was beginning to spin.

The fly on the wall remained silent.
It offered no friendly advice.
The scene on the desk had been violent,
And the poet was paying the price.
