The Wongabong Fly

The Wongabong Fly
was not like you or me.
He had twelve pairs of wings
but no head you could see.
He flew in figure nines
(He found the 'eights' a bore)
Revered grand-daddy
of ones we ignore.

A legendary insect
who taught mosquitoes and gnats
How to miss the flailing corks
on Anti-Fly hats.
