Satisfied Fly.

Goldfinch60



There we were sitting at dinner

Enjoying our food,

A glass of wine each.

And then it came,

A little fly appeared.

It would not go away,

It sat on the side of my glass

But didn’t go in,

Then it flew over to Mary

And landed in her glass

And started drinking.

Mary got it out

And it went onto her plate.

So the fly had a good evening,

Dining on fine wine

And delicious food.

But then it went away

Obviously satisfied,

Satisfied with its meal.

    All your flies are tiny weaklings that need to keep their strength up by the sound of it. I'll send you a big blowie over if yer like...

      Good write Gold. lol. The fly tasted my wine then spat it out, as I had added water to it! lol.

      Andy although this is an amusing story that gives a smile it could not help but evoke a metaphoric image of the unwanted guest that does the same as the fly arriving uninvited it takes advantage of polite hospitality and then leaves satisfied. Nicely done

      Original, clever write.

      Hilarious ! Your poem's got a playful tone, and that fly's got some guts, crashing the dinner party and scoring a free meal! A fun read.
