The Mayfly
1. I am a Mayfly,
Alive for one day fly,
And I must not linger
There's so much to do,
I have to watch out
For those huge leaping trout,
Who would eat me for dinner
Before I am through. |
 |
3. I am a Mayfly,
A jolly hooray fly,
I've fulfilled my purpose
And now I must die.
There's nothing to stay for,
No need for a day more.
I'm just thankful for having
My day in the sky.
T.J LInford |
 |
2. I am a Mayfly,
A King for a day fly,
And I must find a mate
Somewhere up there in the throng.
I need to fly high,
Reach for the sky,
And I hope that I'm lucky
I haven't got long. |
