The Friendship Of Flies Poem by John Sensele

Flies befriend you to nibble
At your meal and your waste matter
Landing their feet which though feeble
Bacteria and other germs they scatter

Spoiling the quality of your meal
Which you consume alongside bad bacteria
In the process of sealing a debilitating deal
With your tummy where diarrhea

Earns the light of day
Spreading germs in particular parts
Of the body where yesterday or today
They invade rib ramparts

Stealing from you high health
Disabling biological body workings
By sanction, subterfuge or stealth
Until your feet fear the feeling of stockings.
