Grandpa always hits them,
Those dirtly little things.
But I always miss them
Because they have wings.

Grandpa always hits them,
Those nasty little brutes.
But when I go for them,
They always change their routes.

Grandpa always hits them,
And hits them by surprise.
But I always miss them,
Because they are FLIES!!

The author's comments:
I wrote this piece sitting on my Grandpa's boat and we were being riddled by flies! Ironically, after I wrote this poem I started hitting the flies!
