those flies
those flies
their days are
numbered three,
that’s what I’m told
in promised scientificry
so why, oh, why,
do they plague me so
from morning’s rise
until the night’s glow?

I sat by the computer
a fly came to tutor
in languid repose
he adjusted my prose
tickled my toes
skipped on my nose
and tried to eat my meal.

He stepped all around
from my brow to my frown
too much of a clown
in black not in brown
he’s come to this town
with intent to touch-down
and hamper my zeal.

I think I'm going to scream, they crawl around in streams.

Whether on the shoal or on the shore,
I'll seek the lighthouse evermore.

This is so cute, Virginia...
Flies multiply like.... well, like flies...
When we had a sailboat on Lake Michigan, they were so bad that they would sometimes cover the entire foredeck...
and their bite is really sharp.  It feels like getting stuck with a needle...

Another poem that made me giggle. The worst thing that could happen on the road was for a fly to get in the truck. The darn thing would go from coast to coast with us! Loved this.

My skin is crawlin'! Egads!--Must be good writing to evoke a physical response like this!
