The Fly

Smack into the VP debate, When answers were starting to grate, A fly landed square Onto Pence’s white hair; A distraction it thus did create. The audience watching, remote, Who’d be very soon casting a vote, Were all fixed on the fly But Mike had no clue why There was something of which to take note. There were jokes and cartoons that implied RBG was the one who supplied That big fly to alight To the Dems’ great delight Though, of course, that would like be denied.

I thought the fly was ever so strange. Could they not go to commercial and fix that?
