Flies are Annoying like Kanye West

Picture adapted by Adam Jane Words by Katherine Lazarus
Flies are fairly annoying creatures. They have a very loud presence, buzzing around your face, crying out for attention. Then when they spy your food they launch at it like a grandma to a yarn of wool.
Over the centuries people have created ways and sprays to eliminate their germy presence.
I often dream about a world without these pesky creatures. No more swag hats or citronella candles, no more awkward moments when people think you’re waving at them when you’re really just shooing the flies away. Goodness a world without flies would be like a life with chocolate flavoured toothpaste, sublime.
Or would it?
Without flies the world would be covered in faeces, or something of the sort. We would have to wear gumboots all the time and incredibly unflattering nose pegs to stop the almighty stink.
Flies are very handy creatures, they were made for a very good reason, much like chocolate flavoured toothpaste was not created for a very good reason.
There is a point to flies, which means there is an even more massive point to human life.
I hope I don’t sound conceited when I say this but I think I’m better then a fly and so I know that I have some work to do on this earth that’s going to clean up a little bit of the stink.
