Our Sherlock makes a proper breakfast out of flies on a daily basis. Even with his one eye and the two pins in his leg he's a danger to the diptera species. But sometimes he aims a bit higher up the food chain...
To the Cat who Swallowed a Wasp.
I too have mistaken it for a fly.
Its buzz Incessant. Its flight maze path
Vertiginous.Its speed blindsiding.
And the urge to pursue instinctual.

But, beware, if caught up in a chase
That is headlong
That allows no time out
That plunges you forward
On the doomed trail of a Pied Piper.
It’s likely that you may be mistaken.
If you had swallowed a fly
You may have come a cropper anyway.
But the taste would have been
More to your liking.
Oh no, did he get stung?
