The Fly Poem by Paul Warren

The fly in this world gets some bad press
But it has more credentials than you would guess

Did you know there would be no chocolate
As a species of fly pollinates the cacao plant so great

And fly larvae help solve some murder investigations how
As their presence on victims bodies show timelines now

And one last thing for all the fans of Beyoncé in this world
There's a fly with a golden body named for her as it is held

So when a blowie buzzes around you in summer
They have a purpose that to this world that isn't a bummer.
