A Sunburned Eye

Did you ever see a fly with a sunburned eye Or a tiny mosquito that consumed a whole pie Whatcha been smokin' Your brain is erodin' Better come down, you're flyin' too high © Jack Ellison 2015

Hey Jack... Around here it could happen. The flies have seemed to learn to avoid Dragons fire for the most part... The trolls are now making some mosquitoes... many itsy bitsy blood pudding pies... Wonder if it'll keep them from biting us?... I'll let you know later... how well it worked out.

PS... The Rapid Responce Turtle Team... our first aide guys... Well, they treat the flies, mosquitos, and bigger animals every day. Really!

I was up there floating, high as the sky....only thinking of some sweet cheery pie....I ate it all up....but it was the dogs sup..... Tis a true story, I can't tell a lie
