TRIBUTE TO MR EDWARD LEAR 24/09/07
THERE ONCE WAS A MAN CALLED EDWARD LEAR,
FLIES USED TO BUZZ AROUND HIS EARS.
IT USED TO MAKE HIM VERY SAD.
THE FIFTEENTH FLY NEAR' DROVE HIM MAD.

BUT TODAY,IF HE WERE ALIVE
HE'D HAVE FLYSPRAY.
FLYSPRAY?
FLYSPRAY...
HAVE YOU EVER TRIED
TO KILL A FLY WITH A RUNCIBLE SPOON.
IT'D BE EASIER TO SWAT!THE MOON.
OR WRITE A LITTLE DITTY FOR THE GOONS.
YOUR ONIONS WOULD FLY EVERYWHERE.
AND THAT'D MAKE EDWARD LEAR GO SPARE.
BE WELL AWARE.
HE KNEW HIS ONIONS WERE NOT PEARS
OR APPLES AND BANANAS.
THERE...(repeat poem as if you were being goaded by flies)
