Blowfly Buzz

An assault upon the ears
Guaranteed to fray the nerves
A testing of your patience
And resilience reserves

It drones around in circles
Flying mindlessly about
While conking into windows
But never bloody conking out

Finally it shuts up at night
You crawl to bed depleted
But the bugger wakes up instantly
And drones on undefeated

Turn the AC down low and he'll quit flying and land, Then smash the bugger:)
