The Fly

Although I find flies extremely annoying, I must say that I love them on a universal level.

The Fly ! The Fly ! I hate the fly

I'll tell you why I hate the fly

Though uninvited they do stay

Just buzzing round my face all day

And if I try to fall asleep

They stop to fly and start to creep

Upon my skin, upon my nose,

Upon my little hairy toes !

The Fly ! The Fly ! I hate the fly

I'll tell you why I hate the fly

They use my home and pay no rent

And suck my sweat without consent

From ceilings high they hang on tight

'Tis me they spy from morn to night !

And even when I use the loo

They follow me to sniff my poo !

The Fly ! The Fly ! I hate the fly

I'll tell you why I hate the fly

I go to make some jam on bread

And flies will swoop as though unfed !

At restaurants I dread to scoop

That fly who's floating in my soup !

I cycle down a country road

And FLIES are FLYING DOWN MY THROAT !!

The Fly ! The Fly ! I hate the fly

And no you know my reasons why

Good bye

Bbzzz

cheers marcus very much appreciated. here in bolivia mosquitos are even worse than the common house fly!

[marcus]

I can imagine, the farther south that you go the bigger and fiercer get the insects!

[marcus]

But I'll gladly take the mosquitoes to be rid of the -40 C winters!

Extraordinary description of an ordinary nuisance.

i suppose they say you should write about what you love and what you hate. as for flies i have a love hate relationship so it was a very enjoyable write. thanks for the views and comments, i'm off to check out some of yours. an eye for an eye!

Seems to be the perfect lyric for the hot summertime blues... you've got a flowing rhythm that works so well with the rhyme and roll of the words!
