She kept telling me that
you attract more flies with honey
than vinegar.
But you know there are many things that attract flies:
Dung
Garbage
Rotten fruit
Clogged sink traps
Road kill
Sewage
Unclean animals
Corpses
Makes me wonder why one would want to attract flies?
They carry disease
They are pests
They lay eggs
They can bite
I guess it is a fitting description
Because the anecdote is the calling
Of every passive-aggressive out there.
They would believe in using sweetness
to bring down the plague upon your head.
Nope, I would rather keep the vinegar thanks.
