Meet Nelson, the green bottle fly,
Don't swat that guy, let him buzz by.
Two round eyes help him find his way,
And three round eyes sense night and day.
His chatty wings zip here and there,
Avoiding birds high in the air.
In thirty days, more or less,
Buzzing Nelson does his best,
To pollinate your flowers,
Using super dusting powers
He slurps mushy fruit past its day,
And munches meat you throw away.
Ready to learn the reasons why
Think twice, don't swat that fly
