THE FLY

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.

    Oh lol good write Michael. We swat flies, but I read they only live 3 weeks anyway.

    • Michael Edwards

      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.

      • orchidee

        Miss Berles help with the muck spreading? And those other chaps - the Bolics?

        I often feel sorry for flies.. I bet they wish they were birds. 🤔

        • Michael Edwards

          Why have they got such a bad name? Poor things - but I still swat them when they come indoors!!

          • sylviasearcher

            I think it's their foreboding bzzzzzz

          • Heartwriter

            Lol! No one wants a fly bugging around. I guess they have their purpose. Just not indoors.

            • Michael Edwards

              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'

              • Michael Edwards

                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!

                    • Michael Edwards

                      Did Bo Tox appreciate it?

                      • orchidee

                        Yes! Oh, how did I forget that I married KP? There she was again in the paper - that'll be every day, almost!
