THE FLY WHISPERER

-by Thomas Carney-

Hello, let me introduce myself
My name is Kindly Plantice
I would love to share with you a talent
Many laugh, but this is no riant matter

Years ago I was nicknamed “The Fly Whisperer”
It started out harmless- as a kid; I caught flies
No, didn't squish em, torture em; but loved them
They became more than pets, they became my life

I was able to catch them with my bare hands
Sedentary or flying, there was no escaping me
They were kept as house pets, or set free
Many times I would go for walks with a Fly

Permission granted, abscond with one long hair
Tied gently around fly’s neck we’d go for a stroll
One time I married a couple that flew off happy
Which enplaned a happier pair I cannot say

Finally, this got in the local news, even beyond that
I am the guy that put the fly swatter out of business
No more killing flies; the most they need is a time out
Marriages have even been saved by The Fly Whisperer

It is my fervent hope that I talk with you all again

Thank you, Kindly
