Shirley Has Fleas

Shirley has a flea circus
She keeps in a bag she bought
She ties the bag shut real well
So escape for them is naught

A rendition of Hamlet 
They would play for all the nerds
All on top of a scrabble board
She calls it, a play on words!

She had those small actor fleas
In that bag that she had got
So none of them could escape
When tied with a Shirley knot!

Thank you Arturo! I'm thinking "Hamlet" must have been a pretty rough rendition!..............pat

Yes she's just trying to "scratch" out a living I guess!....80)

I agree with Gershon - 'play on words' is a blue ribbon winner!
