I Spied A Little Fly

I spied
a little fly
buzzing away noisily,
irritating me
as it flew
around my honeydew,
waiting to share my food,
trying to claim its loot

A moment later,
it doesn't matter
for its life ended
just like I intended
when I folded the newspaper
to be its killer.

you have murderous tendences do you

you have murderous tendencies do you

you killed a fly where...as you could have shared ...she could have been served... on the news paper with which you killed her
sections 12345 will be held against you ...where ever are you... only one call is due to you..... call your legal advisor....
if all humans kill flies they how will we all fly ... no lies flies have big eyes... they can be used as spies ...friend take care
you killed a fly ...but the judge will exonerate you...as you spoke the truth...
there's no hole in your truth

I have warned Digit that you are lethal with a newspaper, no need to become violent, they don't cook very well.
Saying that there is a lake in Africa where they capture thousands and make burgers with them.
I shall stick with Long Pig it is much easier to kill and cook lol.
A fun write there Alid and well formed,
