Mayflies and one nighters
Mayflies in
the cool Spring night
Rise from rivers to catch the light
On wings diaphanous,
slim and slight
Dance in moonlight, cool and bright
By the millions…no, billions!
In the skies above
Orgies of rampant mating run rife
For they must, with speed…
With their love do the deed
For they only enjoy one night of life
so it helps to be..both fast and plucky
for they only have...
one night to get lucky
