I was eating in a diner <br />Yesterday at noon <br />Having a bowl of soup <br />And as I raised my spoon <br /> <br />Noticed something in the dish <br />That appeared to be swimmin’ <br />Thought at first it was <br />A lot of tiny naked wimmin’ <br /> <br />But I was wrong <br />It was a big black fly <br />Doin’ the fly-paddle <br />I don’t know why. <br /> <br />Called the waiter over <br />So him I could tell <br />About this problem <br />And maybe give him some hell. <br /> <br />He took one look <br />And said, “Now ain’t that neat. <br />That will be two-bits extra <br />For the meat! ”<br /><br />George Hunter<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-fly-in-my-soup-old-joke/
