Fleas To Meet You

FLEAS TO MEET YOU There are times, one needs to clean up their act Hold on there, whilst I deflea this darn pesky cat The dog has bolted, he knows it is his turn next The budgie has pulled its feathers, mites O' 'eck Time, I had finished, I was not too bright myself So bath time with Listerine; I found on the shelf By the time we got into bed we all kinda smelled But, we're clear from those pesky fleas from hell "Given I don't even own a bird, cat or a dog . . . I have no idea how I make these poems up" . . . Indiana Shaw . . . : /

G'day Indiana ... keep a close eye on your dog. It'll be outside rolling in something dead or cow manure before you know it before hopping into bed with you - thanks Indiana - Lindsay

I knew some how this poem had a twitch in its tale, and I was not disappointed, enjoyable read.
