The Firefly

by Ogden Nash

Ogden Nash

The firefly's flame
Is something for which science has no name
I can think of nothing eerier
Than flying around with an unidentified glow on a
person's posteerier.

    by Ella Wheeler Wilcox
    I have been down in the darkest water- Deep, deep down where no light could pierce; Alone with the things that are bent on slaughter, The mindless things that are cruel and fierce.
