The Lord of the Fleas

years ago a friend upon refurnishing her home, gave to us a sofa and some rugs what she didn't tell us then that she included in this some bugs!! seems her pets had a flea problem, as now I well did too I despise all the world's insects that's something that is true, but now I was confronted just what was I to do?? well, ol' tom soon had his battle plan and off to war I went with goggles, gloves, nose mask all ports closed, ne'ery a single vent I stiffened up resolve, now to start my task flea bombs I did explode, the noctuous fumes engulfed the room I hoped that that would mean the fleadom's quick, and wonderful doom well, it did work in the end, but I did it twice to be sure then laundered everything in there I seemed to have had the cure no more itchy bites and hopping parasites to torture me all, all night my room returned to me, as was my legal right so use caution when receiving second hand furniture it may have more aboard than you expect and you don't need all this trouble but if you should be the next to have your own flea circus me, I'd prefer tigers, 2 to 1 than fight off minute pests and now you know my friend just how I got it done
