Sitting On The Ceiling<br />
Linda A. Anderson<br />
Think what it would be like<br />
to be a tiny fly,<br />
sitting on the ceiling<br />
watching life zip by;<br />
taking the occasional<br />
spin around the room,<br />
always having fly spirits,<br />
never feeling gloom.<br />
You would spend your whole day<br />
high up above the floor<br />
waiting <strong>for</strong> the moment<br />
you can eat some more.<br />
Sticky footed wanderings<br />
upon every shelf–-<br />
come across some tasty crumb<br />
too small <strong>for</strong> an elf.<br />
After you have fed yourself<br />
to full capacity,<br />
time has come to study<br />
fly philosophy:<br />
crawl across the countertops,<br />
soar back overhead;<br />
take a rest and dream of food<br />
in your ceiling bed.<br />
Your life would be so simple<br />
way above the crowds:<br />
down to eat, then back up high–-<br />
mom would be so proud.<br />
Life would be so carefree<br />
as the house mascot--<br />
just so no one comes along<br />
to give you a swat!<br />
