Fly Nursery Rhyme

Don’t ask me why a pesky fly comes by
Whenever I sit down to have a meal
And she stays staring at each bite I take
As if she wants to say let’s make a deal
To let her sample then make up her mind
While lips she licks and then with tears implore
To my obliging sentimental heart
Until, like Ollie Twist, she asks for more.

Gail Debole Date: 4/23/2023 3:25:00 PM Hi Paul, Most of us wish that flies would just leave us be, but they are just trying to survive. What a fun and unique perspective you have.
