Fly made the mistake
of coming inside.
He gasped, he knew
we would not abide.
Luckily he didn’t crawl
or we’d have bottled him
and that would be all.
On the altar of war
he lost the battle-
he faltered, thought he saw
flypaper strips with
skull and bones.  
Rattled and hallucinating, was he. 
What did he take? 
Not testosterone,
it would not shatter 
his mind on its own.  
Alas, the switch of life 
was turned off, 
but he became a martyr
to the Trapped Fly Cause.
