Ancestry

A chigger avoiding a scratch
Did not wait for larva to hatch
It found a new host
And quickly could boast,
"Our gedcoms are a perfect match!"

Had to look up Gedcoms, I admit. Your limericks are full of info.

Latter days! Parasites are a key part of ecosystems, and many are at risk of extinction. Save the Eifel Tower--my favorite Paris-sight!
