The 'Poem A Day' Project - Day 88 Poem by Flying Lemming

I have a pet, not the usual kind
Could be the strangest you will find
But there’s a bond between him and me
That suits us both perfectly
Its not a cat or dog or bird
You may not believe what you’ve heard
But I tell you no word of a lie
My pet, Sebastian, is just a fly

I haven’t felt a connection stronger
But he wont be around much longer
Flies don’t have a lot of time
And I’ll miss this little friend of mine
He’s well trained in what he does
He has a reassuring buzz
He’s easy to water and easy to feed
But folks laugh when he's on his lead
