made the fly
And then forgot
To tell us why.

Ogden Nash.

I have just put an old fashioned fly paper thing in the kitchen window and have already caught two!
Has the heat brought them out?

[Tilly2]

Maybe having the back door open all day has been a factor?

[gness]

Don't get the fly paper stuck in your hair, Tilly....devil to get out....x

[Tilly2]

Got flies in the bathroom, fleas in the bedroom...or the other way around.

[Psybbo]

Fleas, no no no
Fly swatter is what you need

[Tilly2]

Actually, we don't have fleas. I was quoting some song or other. Anyone remember it?

I have caught three flies now! Where do they come from? Blasted things.

Like a lot of Ogden Nash's sayings like: ''One man's remorse is another man's reminiscence.''

And I've run out of pale ale
And I feel like I'm in jail
And my music bores me once again
And I've been on the pinball
And I know longer know it all
And they say that you never know when you're insane

Got fleas in my bedroom
Got flies in my bathroom
And the cat just finished off the bread
So I walk over Soho
And I read about Monroe
And I wonder was she really what they said

Got a call from a good friend
Come on down for the weekend
Didn't know if I could spare the time
I knew a woman who was crazy
About a boy who was lazy
But it didn't work out 'cos they just couldn't make it rhyme

Hey Jude you were alright
I could have grooved with you all night
But you turned your back on the party game
Mama if i keep my head clean
Will I really have a good dream
Or will I wake up in confusion just the same

And I've run out of pale ale
And I feel like I'm in jail
Got fleas in the bedroom
Got flies in the bathroom
Got a call from a good friend
Come on down for the weekend
Hey Jude you were alright
I could have grooved with you all night

And I've been on the pale ale
And I feel like a pinball

Brian Protheroe. Happy days. :-)

[Tilly2]

Thanks, maggie. I cannot recall Brian Protheroe at all but I do remember the song.

be warned I bought fly papers and put them in my bedroom. then I leaned across to reach for something and my hair got stuck, really stuck to the flypaper, I tried to get it off and it ripped a big chunk of my hair out by the roots, you cant imagine how painful that was ! the rest had to be cut out.

Burl Ives .... I know an old woman who swallowed a fly
I don't why she swallowed a fly
Perhaps she'll die

Can anyone put it up ?I am not clever enough !
