Fly on my Shoulder

a fly landed on my shoulder and says; 'say Bro! put a spoonful of that mint chocolate-chip ice cream to the side and I'll just chill and let you enjoy the rest of your bowl. whattya say, my man?' I pondered the offer for a minute but flies ain't my favorite creature so I smacked his ass and he did a tumble on the coffee table, brushed off his wings and said; 'big mistake my man big mistake! I wanted to be friends but you gotta go bein' an ass-hole! well, you'll regret the rejection of my offered friendship and with that he buzzed off that night at 3am I woke up and the fly was sittin' on my nose 'WAKE UP BITCH! guess what! I just spent 20 minutes rollin' around in fresh dog dootie and now I'm tap dancin' on your nose I think I'll spend some time in your fat neighbor's arm pit before I say hello tomorrow night okay...now you go back to sleep so I can wake you up' and he woke me up 4 more times that night he came the next night and did it all over again he did this for weeks until I was on the verge of losing my job and my sanity from lack of sleep then one night he woke me up and said; 'Well, have you learned your lesson, douchebag? when someone offers their friendship for very little in return, accept it with open arms and not a closed heart' He was right I admitted that I was wrong and shouldn't have rejected him just because he was a fly 'Alright....now, you got any of that mint chocolate-chip ice cream?' I'm afraid not little dude 'No problem...tell ya what...next time ya drop a deuce, don't bother to flush' and we laughed until the Sun came up.
