A flea and a fly

an old limerick...

A flea and a fly in a flue
were imprisoned so what should they do
said the flea let us fly
said the fly let us flee
so they fled through the flaw in in flue

This is good. I like the limerick style, yet I am fascinated with the play of words. Also, it has a happy ending.
