Sharing the Agony of Fleas

Some fleas are mischievous 
They should stay where they belong,…...
on the long tail of my dog!
Just leave ME alone!!

Instead, they hopped off my dog,
and bit me, helter-skelter!
I took shelter at my friend's house....
but, was she pleased?
She was not!

Oh, if ONLY THIS WAS ALLOWED TO RHYME!! I loved your theme and the Helter Skelter wording was so appropriate...I have been struggling with fleas for over a year...I tore out my carpets...shaved my lil dog one trillion times...the extremes I have taken are insane!....Thanks for not giving me YET ANOTHER flea bite, Carrie! I read this poem of yours allowed at dinner and my daughter got a chuckle! All the best, Carrie. :) Gwendolen
