A Figure of Speech

It's been said before that a person can
"catch more flies with honey than vinegar"
I'm sure it's been tested by many a man
but there's something flies like more than sugar

"You'll catch more flies with old meat than honey."
That's how the old saying should really go
I know it might sound a little funny
but it's just a bit more honest... you know?

Just leave honey and a steak in the sun
in an hour come see which has more flies
the old smelly steak will surely have one
it is a truth we can all recognize

Perhaps the moral should not be "be sweet"
but "know the needs of each person you meet"
