A Bloody Conversation

"Nice to see you again", said Mosquito to the Blue-bottled Fly "I see you are well-fed" "Thank you", replied the latter. "I Returned recently from a big meeting" " What meeting? The CONFAB?" "Yes. What a bout of feasting! There was so much blood on the slab!" Softly stroking his proboscis, Mosquito said: "I don't know about you But I prefer blood that comprises Vitamins and nutrients, fresh and new." Patting his robust belly, Fly asked: "Where can I get such? Would that mean waking up early?" "Yes", replied the other. "Pretty much. Just stick with me, I'll show you the difference You are yet to see Human blood is a whole new experience!" "Thanks for the offer, but I'll stick to the butcher's venison. With him, I have an honest cut Human blood is sacred - that's a reason!" And with that, Fly flew away "Potbellied fool! Who better than myself Knows its value? I'll go on my way And let him find out for himself!"
