Michael Had a Little Fly

Michael had a little fly
His hair was white as snow
And everywhere that Michael went
The fly was sure to go

It went with him to work one day
And everybody said
No flies on Mike except for that
Big black one on his head

It was funny. SNL is sure to make the fly bigger than it was.

G’day Gail … I got a real giggle out of your nursery rhyme like verse, especially after watching this on the telly. I remember the fly but I can’t remember his face - well done Gail - Lindsay
