Just a Little Bit of Sugar

Catching flies “You catch more flies with sugar,” oh yes, that’s what they say If even just a little bit those bugs will come your way But somehow I have noticed as this saying I explore You’ll catch more flies with something else that’s rotten to the core I sprinkled just a little bit of sweetness on my place And noticed that a few of them were flying round my face But when I lifted up the lid exposing last night’s meal A thousand little buzzing things approached the peas and veal That made me think perhaps it’s wrong, this saying that they use These insects may like sugar but it’s garbage that they chose Which made me much more curious about these things they say So now I pose the question, “Who would want flies anyway?” 2/24/17 Written for the: Little bit of sugar poetry contest Sponsored by: Debbie Guzzi
