This is a rhyming story rather than a poem.
Down in the town by a very big sea
Was a fly who was shy and he sat beside a flea
"why do you not buzz?" said the flea who couldn't fly
"I would like to", said the fly "but I'm just too scared to see".
"What will you see," said the flea "if you try?,"
"I will see that I can't be a very buzzy type of fly" .
"Well you'll never be a buzzy fly if you don't have a go,
And any buzz is buzzier than you just saying no".
"But other flies will laugh at me if my buzz isn't strong
I do not want to feel ashamed if my buzz sounds all wrong".
The flea he looked bemused and said "well let me hear you try" ,
But the fly he started crying and a tear fell from his eye
"Oh come on little fly" said the flea "I will not laugh,
But please will you stop crying for I do not want a bath!"
The fly began to giggle a buzzy little sound
the more he laughed the more it buzzed which echoed all around.
The flea was trying desperately not to laugh as well
For he'd promised to the fly, but out the laughter fell,
"I'm sorry said the flea I'm not laughing at your sound,
but the tears have made a puddle and we're floating off the ground"
They laughed and buzzed quite happily while splashing in the tears
Said fly to flea "I'm happy now, the best I've felt in years,
But now we have a problem for my wet wings will not fly",
"Climb on my back dear fly," said flea and jumped up really high
Up they went and down again and onto fresh new ground
"You've saved me flea", said fly with glee," in you a friend I've found",
"And you" said flea "have helped me see that laughter is the key,
A buzz from you is there to use as is the jump in me".
