Flee Market

On Saturday I went shopping
Where someone's fleas were still hopping
I don't wish to give blood
To fleas jumping from crud
Go somewhere else for flea swapping!

Very funny poem. Good imagery (but maybe that’s because I’ve been to flea markets before LOL)

I always thought the flea market was an off putting name - I definately flee them :)
