THE FLY
You’re up in the sky
It’s quite a disappointment
You must be a fly
You sure ain’t the ointment.

You're down on the floor
No longer a thriller
Your life is no more
Extinct by fly killer.
Nice one Andy
Oh lol good write Michael. We swat flies, but I read they only live 3 weeks anyway.
A regular clean up each morning - vacuuming up the dead flies - that's the trouble with living in the country - also this morning the smell of muck spreading - a rich pungent odour.
Miss Berles help with the muck spreading? And those other chaps - the Bolics?
Sham Bolic is out there with the pitch fork chasing Sylla Berles and the cows are s++++++g themselves with laughter - is there no end to the muck?
It's turning into a smelly tale, this! lol.
simple.
truly a good poem.
Thanks - a bit of fun.
I often feel sorry for flies.. I bet they wish they were birds. 🤔
Why have they got such a bad name? Poor things - but I still swat them when they come indoors!!
I think it's their foreboding bzzzzzz
Lol! No one wants a fly bugging around. I guess they have their purpose. Just not indoors.
Everything has a purpose including flies - it's such a shame they don't seem to know what it is ! lol
Excellent cartoon and poem.
^^8^^ don't buzz round the house
when the weathers this hot
^^8^^ Mike Edwards will swipe you
he's bought a new 'swat'
Actually I've got a swat which I brought home from one of my many visits to Cyprus as I couldn't seem to find one here - since then I've seen them in many shops - they call it sods law. Great Ode Dusk
Michael,
Love this little cartoon fly write! I will not shoo it away. It’s worth the save in my faves!
It reminded me of the first time I visited Pennsylvania in the USA and ate a piece of ‘shoo-fly’ pie at a Pennsylvania Dutch restaurant called ‘‘Good ‘N Plenty’’!
I was looking for the flies in the pie! To my surprise, they had all been shooed away! 🤣
Shoo-fly...shoooo
~Laura~
I fancy some of that pie - with steaming hot custard. No flies on me - thanks Laura
FLIES have their place
In the ecological race
But I don't want one to POOP
When he lands in my SOOP
That would be crass
Soop flavoured with with frass !
Thanks again UNCLE MIKE for seasoning
MPS with a soupcon of humour
Yours appreciatively BRIAN & ANGELA

Hey, me wife KP ( I forgot I married her) is avoiding being declared bankrupt. She spent it all on Botox!
Did Bo Tox appreciate it?
Yes! Oh, how did I forget that I married KP? There she was again in the paper - that'll be every day, almost!
