When I was seven or eight, my dad told me, "You kept saying you wanted a pin collection. I couldn't understand!"

Finally he realized that I wanted an insect collection with pins to impale the insects. So he bought me some special insect pins. I still have one left. HERE IT IS...

The Beasts of Tarzan.

There's a certain kind of green fly

You know the ones I mean

The ones when doggie defecates

Come flyin' on the scene

They appear as if by magic

They appear as in a dream

With their emerald opalescence

And their iridescent sheen

When doggie doesn't defecate

These flies are never seen!

So where do green flies come from?

From some green fly machine?

From the carcass of a rotting steer

In some dried up ravine?

Where do green flies come from?

Do they hatch from a green fly bean?

Or when doggie poops does someone somewhere

Open up a screen?

And let the green flies fly about

To on her stool convene?

I'll never know the answer

But I judge from their cuisine

That the place the green flies call their home

Is a place that's none too clean!
