A Flea and a Fly

A flea and a fly, both Very Shy
  The flea beat his wings
  The fly batted her eyes
The time came to part, O my!
  The flea tried to look 'Good'
    ~ as the fly waved 'Bye'

Gershon, one of my favorite limericks is: A flea and a fly in a flue....were imprisoned so what could they do....said the flea let us fly.....said the fly let us flee...so the fled through the flaw in the flue....(don't know who wrote it)

Fun, Gershon, but why is there never a swatter around when you need one? Terry

Exactly, swatters know how to disappear when a fly appears
