A fun take on Pence's world-famous fly (the one on his head)!

Thanks for the shout-out and the link, Andrew. (I still can't figure out linking.) That was a quick response from James Penha.

Good one, Ed. When I heard all the talk of the fly on Pence, I immediately thought of that poem by Dickinson. And of Lord of the Flies (a translation of "Beelzebub") by Golding.

Thanks, Susan. It looks like your "Masquerade" got pushed down off the screen and into Limbo. It deserved a longer run.

This made my day, Ed, even though I’m a little late. Also love your bio, to which I can relate.

(The rhyme totally randomly unintended but I’ll chalk it up to your spirit moving through this.

Thanks, Siham. Your comments are never too late. (And we won't discuss why late and relate are not really rhymes.)
