To The Gnat That Died on My Forehead

You flew valiantly in your squadron and were hailed for your efforts.

However, a few posthumous thoughts when attacking a giant should be noted.

First, understand the height and sweep of your prey.

The desire to eliminate the nuisance

The humidity and discomfort

The massive weight,  the large hands

Or  the built-in defense system,

Revealing a common reflex of giants,

Sometimes missing the meat

Swatting at fluff but eventually making contact.

Squishing the juice

Air-drying the pancaked parts

 Tossing the morsel back with a flagon of mead.
