The Dog and the Flea
The dog and the flea decided to compete
The dog said to the flea, ‘I bet you can’t get me.’
The flea said to the dog, ‘you wait and see.’
‘I can get you what ever you do,
you can’t get away from me.’
The dog said to the flea,’ I can run faster that you can hop.
You don’t stand a chance, your hop I can stop.’
I can hop high and get you from on top
Said the flea to the dog, the dog was a bit shocked.
You can’t fool me said the dog to the flea
I can jump higher than you can even see.
.
The dog and the flea stood looking at each other
Neither wanted to give way.
The flea hopped up high, high in the sky
The dog yelped and jumped as though he could fly.
It was a mistake the flea landed on the dog,
the dog landed on the ground.
Neither the flea nor the dog won that day.
As they were hit by the truck the corner coming round.
