Death of a kitchen fly

For  14 minutes, oven on high-
The bacon tray goes in-
It heats up so high and greasy-
The meat cut thick, not thin-

Oven mitts on, I pull out the tray,
And then set it off to the side-
I did non yet know that on that very same day-
I would see the death that a kitchen fly died-

Out of nowhere it seemed, or from next to the ground beef-
A fly went a flying in the opposite of relief-
Within a fly's short lifespan there's rarely time to learn-
Why not to fly into things that will cause you to burn

I walked back to the bacon tray and noticed it quick-
In lava-like bacon grease writhing, so sick-
It must have felt awful, so horribly wrong-
And it might have escaped, but I hit it with my tongs-

Poured out the bacon grease to cook things in later-
dropped the small body in the trash can, and fist bumped a waiter-
Handed most of the bacon right over to Javi-
And saved the piece that the fly flew right into for me.
