We are having a talent show today in Relief Society where I will show all my knittings and crochetings and read this poem!

The Little Fly, Written by Oma
There is a fly in my house
just a real tiny fly -
where ever I go,
the fly is nearby!

I wave my arms around me,
to make her go away;
I open the door and windows,
then in the far east corner she goes -
the fly is here to stay!

If I am in the kitchen,
just doing my dishes,
There is also the fly -
Around me she swishes!

When I go to the living room,
to sit down for a spell,
it only takes some minutes,
the fly is there as well!

I talk to her and tell her:
"Go away, you silly fly" -
but does she listen, does she care?
no way! She wants to stay!

Sometimes she is sitting on my arm,
I look at her and think:
she really has a lot of charm -
but, I do not want her on my arm!

In the bathroom, when I am washing
thinking, no one else is there,
soon I know, I was mistaken,
I just saw the fly somewhere!
