Me and that effing flea

I hate it when a flea
takes a liking to me
and keeps darting in front of my eyes.

I try swatting it away,
but she thinks it's play,
and so keeps it up - till she dies.

The poem's brevity and its use of simple, everyday language contribute to its effectiveness. It's a concise and memorable piece that effectively captures a relatable human experience with a touch of unexpected darkness. It's a clever and entertaining poem that leaves a lasting impression.
