Late Reply

I am sorry for the late reply
I live a day, and then I die
And some of you may wonder why
But it’s just another day in the cycle of a mayfly.

Mayfly

Where does it all go,
This mayfly of hope?
Perhaps I shouldn’t leave it
In the room with the rope.

Disclaimer: I’m actually feeling rather well — read: hopeful — today; but I thought of this and found it… Well, funnier than I probably should.
