Fly on the Wall

I'm the fly on the wall

You won't notice me at all

While I watch you from a distance, from afar

Unseen expert infiltrator

Skilful, silent, still spectator

More an extra than a major movie star

Like those famed master spies

I will track you with my eyes

Cos participation's really not my thing

As a solitary creature

In a crowd I'll seldom feature

Insignificant and small behind the scenes

I'm the one you won't find

Out of sight and out of mind

Just observing is what I am built to do

Tiny insect with a mission

To keep others in my vision

I'm the fly upon the wall looking at you

But now I've been offered alternative employment

So I'm taking the job...

As the fly in the ointment!
