A mildly bothersome pestilence
troubled the township of Doune with malevolence.
Everyone bid it go away,
but to their dismay
the flies then replied with true petulance:
“No matter whatever you do
this statement will always be true:
Wherever you flee
from the presence of me
we’ll already be there just to torment you.”
And indeed, though this concept may come as a fright
these ubiquitous flies were entirely right:
Despite dire straits so preponderant,
a fly can be found on each continent—
not even the cold of Antarctica shields from its bite.
