Hi Lolo,

Your posting is interesting. As you certainly know, Ogden Nash liked to write humourous little poems and this one is probably about what purpose flies have. You can use Nash's two lines to start a discussion about the world at large. Yet, at the same time you can simply leave them as they are without thinking too much about them.
