Best Flea Poems

    parasitic it creeps between stage curtains
            floorboards collect grooves
    an advertised show that's

   draws us in

I am watching a flipper show 
Where pairs of two 
Run around 
A Flea market 
Making deals 
Competing with the other pair 

The entire show Intrigues me 
Delights me 
Excites me 

I want power tools 
And goggles now 
Which is ridiculous 
When you realize I...

There was a king once reigning
Who carried a great, big flea—
And far from him complaining,
The flea filled the king with glee!
For to him that flea was dearer
Than even his only son,
And to make his preference clearer,
Raised it higher than anyone!

In ermine, silk and satin
The flea...

A dog and a cat and a flea,
All sat down to some tea,
They all ate some ham,
With some bread and some jam,
And were all as content as can be....

Long before dawn
we find
the most incredible
silent energy.
A line of cars
and trailers
packed with
questionable treasures
idle, 
waiting for their
booth assignments.
In the field,
in the light of headlights
hushed merchants
set up their tents
and tables startled
only by an occasional 
tent pole striking
the pavement.
Some, self satisfied,
have been set up for hours,
these are the...

A sad old flea and a silly old gnat
were boogieing it down
on the neck of an aristocrat
When suddenly Splat

And that was that...

It’s a parasite
My bloodsucker pet of some sort
It lives in comfort!

Blood-eating insect my adorable pet
It is a species of dusk feeders
Harmful to my skin!

My pet is an extraordinary performer
It entertains me often
I have my own flea market
And FleaFlea is the STAR!!!!!

Though a parasite
My bloodsucker pet...

hear about the angry flea

flitting about crabbily

it hopped on a dog

who fell in a bog

and both floated out to sea.

Spent today at a Flea Market with she,
All for nothing, nothing for free,
Bought some clothes for she,
A potplant for me, no weed,
Food and books  I didn't need,
All for nothing, nothing for free,
Anything old was new again,
Vendors on the gravy train,
All for nothing, nothing for...

Dealers arriving
Merchandise appearing.
Bargain hunters searching
Treasures departing.
Dealers exiting
with pockets a-jingling....

The Flea and the Fly.

"You have an attitude at altitude." 
Said the Fly as he flew, 
to the Flea as he jumped 
in the air as they bumped. 

"Swearing like that". 

"An attitude at altitude". 
Said the Flea as he fell, 
to the Fly flying...

Is that a flea on me?
Get off of me you flea
'Cause I'll crush your crust
And I'll flick your dust
Then You'll see I don't like fleas

Who said that money doesn't grow on trees
You can't pick it anytime that you please
But throughout this recession
My dog's in depression
For to a circus I'm selling his fleas...
