The Flies

By: Laura Mirabal

Don’t open the window so wide,

those pesky flies will come inside.

They’ll buzz around your head all day,

and light atop the pie you baked.

You won’t know what to do with them,

they’ll drive you crazy; you’ll go insane.

They make that awful sound in your ear

You won’t get them back outside – that’s clear!

You’ll swat them and spray them, to no avail.

You’ll want to send those suckers to hell.

So, don’t open the window so wide,

those pesky flies will come inside.
