A Bedbug and a Flea

Greetings bedbug - said a flea Let me rest my head In this lovely bed I see Welcome flea - a bedbug said For the night here stay You will very well be fed Not one bite I’ve had this day Was the fleas reply To a body lead the way! Not many I’ve known so dry! Said the host of guest From a lady came a cry Help! I’m bitten by some pest! Husband get the maid Or tonight I cannot rest! Heard the flea and was afraid I must go! it cried A rapid escape then made The bedbug was slow to hide And soon was no more For that hungry flea it died From a bedroom hear a snore Saying clear and loud To slumber this bed is for Said a bedbug - on a cloud Two is company Three ( if one a flea ) Is sure to be a crowd

This is a very humorous write, excellent imagery, tone and flow. It is indeed a pleasure to have read for you. I wrote one a while back called 'Love Bug', it also concerned a flea...lol. Thank you for sharing :-) God Bless, Always, Adell
