crazy flies
move at speeds of purposeless haste
a waste of movement cannot mate
or eat or even make flydust at such a pace
oh Sith!
in a world of speeding bytes they exceed
sane existence, and in multitudes
spiked soled-feet have they, armies of
little nails that bite like tiny feet-teeth
and they walked on me once ...was enough
to terrorize, then threaten to do it again,
and again... threats,
devilish feints buzzless buzzings
buzzings of the mind
crazy flies...the fly-by
clouded becomes the future,
strong the fly side is
to a brink they drive everyone to drink, reach for
refreshment and there they float,
like castle moat a passive defense, is best
but then we parch ohhh...crazy flies,
mites of phantom menace, minions
of the dark side they are
the force is strong in them,
smashing them is not enough,
they must be smeared, obliterated
utterly... light sabres!
so why would nature such a creature select
I guess good they are tiny it is
if three feet tall they were ...
rule the earth they would
a Crazy world

"oh Sith!" LOL. Very funny, those crazy flies are definitely of the dark side... Great Yoda-speak and all-around fun! Thanks for this entry.

Great job with this. I think this is pretty funny. And my fav line: "mites of phantom menace, mignions
of the dark side they are..." I used to draw a comic strip back in highschool ("Mishaps") dedicated entirely to the 'attack' and annoyances of flies on humans...lol. I spent entirely too much time on those pesky critters (even though I really thought the comic was funny). I always enjoy a good laugh and this brought back some hilarious memories (of flies? YUCK! I must be so weird...hahaha). Thanks a lot.

Thank you so much for the laughs and the kind words...and also thanks for pointing out my typo too...I really appreciate that...typos are almost as irritating and difficult as crazy flies...PK

Yoda-rific this is. There is just nothing nastier than a buzzing fly, except a landed fly. Irratating, disgusting, and nearly inescabable. Your have portrayed the angst of us all!
Very cute.
You might try not leaving fruit on your desk.

Underestimated these dark flies have you...they are Vader flies, come not from fruit but from somewhere deep in a dark place where..one must face...the unknown...
-
-
Perhaps they are attracted to the light and are considering crossing over. You never know...

oh that would be divine...seriously, these things can change your mood...they can crawl on you at nine AM and yo will feel it on your skin till sunset... this could be a weapon...the fly-by...

Now Poet ...
as long as they keep out of your computer, for there they will cause havoc!
And bytes may multiply and bandwidth usage will soar as high as sky ... Oh My!
Keep out those tiny flies, and all those techno lies.
Fun read. I enjoyed. Thank you.
Blessed be.
