Shirley Has Fleas

Shirley has a flea circus She keeps in a bag she bought She ties the bag shut real well So escape for them is naught A rendition of Hamlet They would play for all the nerds All on top of a scrabble board She calls it, a play on words! She had those small actor fleas In that bag that she had got So none of them could escape When tied with a Shirley knot!

Thank you Arturo! I'm thinking "Hamlet" must have been a pretty rough rendition!..............pat

I agree with Gershon - 'play on words' is a blue ribbon winner!
