There are " flies in the ointment " and " flies in the soup ",
dive bombing flies 'round your head loop-de-loop .
There are " flies out the window " and " flies out the door " ,
house flies and horse flies and so many more .

Black flies the size of a B-52 ,
blue-bottle flies ( hey, they need a drink too ).
Damsel flies dragon flies hover about ,
some say " when pigs fly " ( but this one I doubt ).

Deer flies and bar flies " how time flies " and such.
There are " flies off the handle " it's all a bit much .
There's " flies through the air with the greatest of ease ",
and flies that are well known to carry disease .

Bot-flies and fruit flies and " flies like a bird ",
so many flies that it's darn near absurd !
" Frequent flies " give you some great discount air ,
but who knows what kind of flies you will find there ?

Tse-tse flies , med flies , and butterflies , blue ?
I think these flies ought to have their own zoo !
There are probably some flies that didn't make this list .
It seems like there must be just one I have missed .

But I must buzz off , I've got my rounds to do ,
and now you can say that you've seen " Moose " fly too .

Hi Doc, read this earlier, thought I had replied already, must be gettin old not knowing what I did or did not anymore  

Just want to say that I really loved all your flies.

Cpat ,
Me either , I hear their bite is much worse than their buzz . Thanks
Doc

Titia ,
Thank you . Of all that I write I'd have to say the humorous bits are the most enjoyable
for me .
Doc

Nan ,
After reading your " Gypsyness " piece I was truly inspired . Glad you dropped by to take a swat .
Doc

illusion ,
High praise . Thank you so much .
Doc

Denise ,
Thank you . Making people laugh is as good as it gets . Poetry sure doesn't pay very well in any other coin . Take care my friend .

Hilariously enjoyable. Thanks

Throw your heart out in front of you
And run out to catch it.
