retirement


I said to the fly,
How old are you now?

Gee, said the fly,
I'm not sure.
A week or two,
I guess.
Why?

Because that's old,
for a fly.
Have you thought about
what you'll do for retirement?

Gee, said the fly.
I hadn't thought about that?
I don't know.
What do you suggest?

What do you like to do?

Eat at Micky D's,
said the fly.

That's not much of a plan,
I said.

You're right, said the fly.
I'll eat at Micky D's
in France.

This is an absolute hoot. Gotta love this fly.   Think I could accompany him to France?
