The Hungry Housefly's Zip Around the Gym

When the hungry housefly was feeling energetic,

Off to the gym he zoomed, feeling all athletic…

He quickly used up a hundred calories,

Zipping around the gym’s galleries,

He munched on the weights and crunched with his mates,

A swarm of them gathered, to lift up six crates…

He nibbled a hole in the rowing machine,

Then polished off the bicycle completely clean…

Next he ran around for a jog, over the mats, he jumped a leapfrog !

The hungry fly’s appetite, was so strong,

He took a bite of the dumb bells, then gave out a song !

He huffed and puffed as he flapped his wings,

Sweated around the gym and all of it’s things…

Finally, in the corner, resting on the water tank,

He took a big gulp, then promptly in sank !
