THE FLY SCREEN DOOROf all the modern day inventions,We rely on more and more, One we think as foolproof, Is the common fly screen door! Through its fuzzy outlook, There are visions by the score, Many of nature works occur, Just beyond the fly screen door. Ants send out their forward scouts, Food sources to explore, Seek and search for entranceways, Beneath the fly screen door! The backyard shed looks shabby, Needs painting a year or more, A quick solution to that problem, Cover in the fly screen door. Signs of an early summer, Bring blowflies to the fore, Gaze at you with multi eyes, Through the fuzzy fly screen door! The dog dislikes the blowflies, Whacks away with swiping paw, Suddenly there are gaping holes, In the mesh of the fly screen door! The flies pour in the gaping holes, Salivating from the jaw, Ant forward scouts call their mates, To invade the fly screen door! I know that ants are pretty smart, But, I can't believe I saw, The buggers building a turnstile, By the hole in the flyscreen door! Now a myriad of insects, Sandflies mozzies and all, Are now queued up for tickets, To the feast through the fly screen door! Two full cans of fly spray, Cause the carnage on the floor, Wish a pox upon the inventor, Of the FLY PROOF fly screen door |
