The hungry housefly was a musical chap, …a class act…
He munched his way through a whole orchestra in fact !
He started off nibbling on a trombone,
Crunching away like a barbeque bone…
As the musical maestro opened the door,
The housefly ate the musical score…
In he zoomed, sliding on a bowl of ice – cream,
To devour the trumpet was his ravenous dream !
The hungry housefly didn’t know where to begin,
So quickly he feasted on the violin…
Before long, he’d consumed the mandolin,
Chomping on the bagpipes, caused quite a din !
He snacked on the organ, then the double bass,
He tucked in without even saying grace !
He took a bite of the clarinet, Even without a serviette….
He tapped his feet to a musical beat,
Flapped his wings…and continued to eat…
As on the harp, he indulged,
He let out a hiccup, his stomach bulged !
The hungry housefly was a greedy fellow….
Soon, he was feasting on the cello !
The hungry housefly bounced off the drum,
And chewed the piano like bubble gum !
He dined on the gong, which let out a BONG !
He craved for the flute, which gave out a song !
His belly still rumbled, so he didn’t stop,
He ate the triangle, with ketchup on top !
He added salt ‘n’ pepper to the fiddle,
Tucked into the oboe, from the middle….
Finally, the housefly gobbled up the bell,
And merrily ate the conductor as well !
