Fly Catcher

Every year, sometime in June or July,
we have a sudden explosion in our resident fly population.
All of a sudden, there seem to be hundreds
of flies everywhere.
This year, instead of just letting them have their way,
we released the Fly Catcher:
 Last Christmas, Orin got a bug gun from his 
Great Aunt Roxanne.
He found that it is very useful for fly catching.
Do not ask me how, exactly,
Orin can suck up flies in mid air that even adults
armed with a much higher reach 
and rolled up newspaper can't catch,
but catch them he does.
 His other method, equally as successful
is the old stalk,
 whack,
and fetch method.
 Another fly down.
Play on little man, play on.
