Dragonflies supply vat dye,
Whereby tie dye neckties
Dandify shy magpies,
Defying sly butterflies
Plying fluorescent dye,
Applied on bow ties.
Thereby war cries zip by,
Spry allies stand by.
Nearby, horrified walleyes
Clarify, rectify, pacify.
By and by, mollified spies
Buy shoofly pie.

Walleyes are a type of fish. Shoofly Pie is a pie made with molasses.
