I was skilful in sharing the workers salami sandwich. I could land and eat when the warm air flowed [speech]. But as soon as it stopped I’d buzz away a bit. Well as a little fella I could not eat much and the giant had plenty to share.
We insects and human beans need to learn to cohabitate. Makes for a harmonious world … That salami was sure tasty, hope he shares lunch on a regular basis. Best part is the strong scent … I will find him if he eats elsewhere!
a shared tasty meal
is so mighty unreal
I’m up for the steal

Ha! A cute, humorous write. Kate! Thanks for the giggles! 😀
If a fly has landed on food, I can’t eat it. I keep thinking where those little fly feet have been! 😮
When we eat outdoors, or BBQ, or picnic (etc) I put some bits of food on a plate and it is designated for the flies! Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn’t! 😛
(((HUGS))), no bugs!!! 😉

You are a mavellous wriiter Kate and you make me think of the great french poet Jean de la Fontaine ( XVII rd century ) who wrote wonderful poems where the actors often are animals ( such the crow and the fox ).

Loosely related, if even that, yet your charming poem brings to mind an equally charming drawing I spied at an Amish pastry stand.
It depicted a man seated at a table, smiling in dreamy anticipation, the words beneath him urging,
“Pa, Pa, Eat You Some Shoofly Pie!”
Wise advice!

lol great term “shoofly” should be in the aussie vernacular … we already have the royal wave to shoo them away 🙂

The Amish gave the word to the “English” (all non-Amish), and I think we can spare a cup or two for our Aussie neighbors.
The pie acquired its name because the molasses-laden pastry is absolutely molten when it emerges from the oven, requiring a stay on the windowsill to cool. Naturally, that attracts flies, which the careful baker chases from the prize.
“Shoo, flies, shoo! Hey, wait a second…of course! ‘Shoofly!'”

Fun-filled prose! Reminds me when a fly descended and collapsed in my mother-in-law’s stewed tomatoes. Sort of ruined her appetite, and she loves tomatoes.
