    It has been there all along.
    Only we didn't realize it.
    Seemingly immobile, its long
    Tongue is unseen by many yet.

    The fly, whether its annoying or not
    Moves from one part to another.
    With a lazy hum and a confident strut
    It moves freely in any weather.

    Perhaps it doesn't know that it will
    Find its end on an unlucky day.
    Till then everything sounds well.
    But that day will surely come anyway.

    The lizard seems to eternally wait
    For that day, not moving a limb.
    Occasionally its tail vibrates
    Assuring that its prey will succumb.

    Finally the eventful day had come.
    At a lightning speed, the lizard's tongue
    Changed the status of the fly. Ahem!
    It stayed immobile again for long.
