Dare I Guess Where He Lives

I do not confide this often, but today is a painful day
The flea is knitting again; and he gets wild with the needles.
So I am being poked and bruised, as he works on an afghan.

My friend asks me “Dare I guess where he lives?”
In a hairy spot, under my left armpit, I confess.
And you cannot get rid of him? I do not choose to.

Why is that?
He is the best dog sitter we have ever had.
He knows how to keep them in line.

Oh…..
