TIMELY WARNING.

Don't treat the housefly kindly.
Or make of it pet
But pat it with a bedslat
Or spread for it a net.
We used.to call it harmless,
But now the doctor sees
That on the padding of the feet
1t packs around disease.
Although it fits so lightly,
The creature carries weight.
With microbes it is laden,
With germs as local freight.
And when it bites a person
In payment it may leave
A week or two of sickness
And thus its load relieve.
So the disease whose symptoms
Are like the summer cold
May not come from exposure,
AS you have oft been told.
The reason for the ailment
May be a pesky fly
That went where there was sickness
And got a fresh supply.
So of your pet diversions
Just keep it on your list,
And If it gets familiar,
Why. slap it on the wrist.
IT when YOU are not looking
To take bite it tries,
Request the fly to kindly
Take some one of its slit.
