Earworm alert: Do not, under any circumstances, sing this to the tune of ‘Food, glorious food’ from Oliver…. Apologies to Lionel Bart…

Flies, ‘orrible, flies,
So bloody persistent!
Flies, god-awful flies…
Fly –killer resistant.
Don’t know where they’re coming from…
Must be the manure
Out there in the farmer’s field
Smells worse than a sewer…

Flies, buzzy black flies…
Keep trying to swat ‘em.
Flies, ruddy great flies
Missed more than I got ‘em.
Landing on my hands and hair
In rapid succession…
Dog’s chasing them everywhere
With mounting aggression….

Flies, terrible flies…
Irksome little bastards
Flies, pestilent flies…
Annoyance well mastered…
Why round my computer screen
Must I needs have ten?
Flies, ‘orrible flies, bothersome flies…
Squirt ‘em again….
