today a bluebottle blushed ~ when i smashed its face with a sweeping brush was a great buzz and quite some rush ~ now i’m on a downer cleaning mush moral of the story’s do not crush ~ best spray their wings then pull and flush By David Kavanagh

Ten blue bottles sitting on the wall, ten blue bottles sitting on the wall, now if one blue bottle meets David with his broom, there’d be nine blue bottles facing certain doom. ALL TOGETHER NOW… Nine blue bottles……………. ;-)

Ha ha, not quite ten Terry but like I said to Tom below, at least 4 until I decided on chemical warfare, then there were no bluebottles sitting on my dog’s bowl, lol! Cheers David

Lol, hate them damn bluebottles, they certainly make a mess when squashed. Enjoy your weekend. Tom
