A Fly On Board

I deserve this flight, 
I'd have paid, a little more
That I know, I know
The cheque wasn't mine, fine
But now, there's a fly aboard
Flying with me
Across the border
It's busy singing
Seat to seat, head to head
Sometimes it tastes a lip
And looks away
There's a fly aboard

I'm not petty
It doesn't. The fly does not
Deserve this fight
Its my war.
I want to skin it 
I shall kill it
It a manner
It will live to remember

Thrice, I queued, I stood 
Thrice, I checked my pack
Eyes, I passed the cops
I walked this talk
This fly did not

For fairness the fly must go
For sanity I've stopped
My mission 
The fly must go

Hello peter Onvancha, it is hard to get rid of a pesky fly. Have a ice evening my fiend.
