There is a fly that bothers me it's playing hide and seek But I don't want to kill it now for that I am too weak It's wandering over my pc and resting on my screen It is a fly so big and black as you have never seen I was going to write a poem but words they did not flow Oh there she goes into the air Jee how big a fly can grow She does remind me of one time when I came back from fishing The box with bait I put aside and forgot all about the thing And later on you won't believe whenever I opened the door I saw a fly trapped in my fridge And sometimes there were more I couldn't believe my eyes but didn't like the thought of flies in my frigde tripping over every food I bought I decided to clean the thing and threw all the food away Still no clue where the flies came from I'm ashamed to say Then I came to the lower shelf and yes you've guessed it right My box with bait had come alive with big black flies crawling inside And I thought wow this just fits in a horror movie of some kind When I did put this in the fridge I must've had an absent mind So whenever I see a black fly like the one that's teasing me I allways look into the fridge just to check it out you see A rose is a rose is a rose...I guess...

Cute Titia, cute. Though the bit with the bait in the fridge really grossed me out, I'm not visiting you after all if that's the food you keep in your fridge!!! lol If she who dies with the most toys wins, then can I have some toy boys please? |

Gentle Spirit, glad I made you laugh. Interloper, well, not flyfishing as the profs do, just you know: flies lay eggs, eggs become ???(don't know the word)wich I use for bait, and when you wait long enough, the ??? become flies again. But yes, I'm a fanatic fishwoman, most on trout and salmon wich they keep in big ponds overhere. Last time I caught two salmons of 2 kilo each. Sudhir Lyer, hi long time no seen, thanks.
