The Story of Lot

The father said,"Kids, God told Lot,"
"Take your wife and flee from the city!"
"His wife became salt, looking back!"
On their faces, he saw pity

 "They were not suppose to look back,"
The father said, "I guess you see,"
"We should always do what God asks!"
 The boy said,"Yes, but what of the flea?"

The fleas flee with the flies and fly - well I'd thought I'd give it a try! Thanks, have a flea-less day, Pat!
