a very pleasant
surprise ....
.... a world travel gift certificate
of rather
considerable size.
Now Federico and Fernanda
were in need
of a great escape
and securing a proper passport
beat any
red tape.
Federico and Fernanda
were a pair of free spirits
in the breeze
so they could
cross any border
with relative ease.
"It's true
when you're globetrotting
how time flies
especially
if you just happen
to be a pair of flies."
They flew over to Africa
in order to chase
some tail
and to reach
the back end
without any fail.
Lions and giraffes
and zebras
too.
It was a never ending
list
of an animals' who's who!
"Let's go bug the hippos
and the elephants
over there.
I never thought
we would hear so many critters
swear!
I love when we're pests
and fly up
someone's ass.
Although I am sure
they are hoping
we'll just take a pass."
Federico and Fernanda
met their inevitable fate
one day
and fell out of favor
with a zoo keeper's
bug spray.
It was so nice
while it lasted
until they became a pawn
in the game of a new chemical agent
called
'Bug be Gone!'
