AT WAR WITH FLIES
Folder:
BUT DAD, HE'S A POET
The flies are encroaching.
They spy my Affligem.
I fight them back
with a brush of my fingers.
And these aren’t
even the normal fruit flies
attracted to Belgian beer.
There are large horse flies
on the offensive.
They plot new formations
I drive them back.
They regroup
and prepare the next attack.
I sip victory
after each skirmish.
It seems there
will be many battles
with nary a casualty.
But Affligem is mine
and I refuse
to cede a single drop
to the continuing onslaught
of thirsty flies.
Lord of the Flies
I did not know that flies liked beer. Must be a Martinique kind of thing. :)
the fruit flies are the
the fruit flies are the worst. They're always trying to steal sips of your beer. and then they drown it and mess it up for you, too.
