Ode to a Fly (As Written by a Toad)

Verily dost thy humble buzz, announce thy nearing flight,
And, little buzzing fly, wakes my appetite.
You’ll find my tongue a welcome bed, my throat an ample slide,
My belly still is roomy, as shall see once you’re inside.
I welcome thee, my humble friend, inspect your new abode,
You find a warm, ‘tho dimly lit, home inside a toad.
