Once was a man called Brice
Known for having head lice 
At the swap meet for fleas
No one buys despite needs
Fear of fleas lice is curse twice

Premium Member Fleas On Noah's Ark

Two fleas are jumpig
Onboard of Noah’s Ark
For warm nest looking.

Two fleas are dreaming
Onboard of Noah’s Ark
A warm nest enjoying.

Two fleas are arriving
Onboard of Noah’s Ark
At Ararat’s mountain.

Their trip is ending
Onboard of Noah’s Ark
And starts a novel jumping

Premium Member 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!

Eap-Fleas

eap-FLEAS

Cats and dogs both hate fleas:

in the dirt or in the leaves

and the bite, each one agrees

by the scratching relief sees

in the North or in the Keys

Premium Member Hounded By Fleas

There was once a young hound 'hounded' by fleas,

   As countless as the stars in Pleiades!

      He was one dismal young whelp,

         And he barked with a loud yelp:

            "Won't someone scratch this mutt's hide if you please!"

Premium Member Running Like Fleas, Hypocrisy

The Israelites fleeing Mt. Sinai
    like children at the final school bell

  When the Lord quickened their pace to Israel
    'We can't run fast enough,' they yelled

A Fleas Life(In Honor of Sh)

My dog had a flea infestation and we gave her a flea bath and all the fleas ran up her 
tail to high ground. Me and my son were laughing about the fleas saying --there was 
no rain in the forecast...where did the hurricaine come from?? run to high 
ground...hang on martha!! We lost junior, hang on everyone!! bluup bluup bluup 
swirling down the drain--iiiiieeeeee!

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!

Premium Member Raid of the Fleas

A toddler’s heels wham… flip flop flip flop 
Annoyed by the sound that runs non-stop,
Dad grabs a plug to cover his ears
While an army of fleas seem to appear
Invading pet cat as child squirts a hose,
“I must declare, it’s a raid...I suppose”
As father throws kitty out the door,
Son plays with bug gadgets...toys' galore!

FLEAS

I think that I shall never see
A bug as ugly as a flea.
A flea whose chewing mouth is prest
against the doggie’s hairy chest.
A flea that bites the beast all day,
And lifts its bristled legs to prey.
A flea that will in summer tear
A bloody hole where doggie’s bare.
Upon whose body germs abound
And parasites throughout are found.
Pets are  kept by fools like me,
But God knows I despise the flea.

A bug as ugly as a flea.

A flea whose chewing mouth is prest

A flea that bites the beast all day,
And lifts its bristled legs to prey;

A flea that will in summer tear 
a bloody hole where doggie’s bare;

Upon whose body germs abound;
and parasites throughout are found

Pets are kept by fools like me,

A flea that bites the beast all day,
And lifts its bristled legs to prey.

A bloody hole where doggie’s bare.

Upon whose body germs abound

FLEAS

I think that I shall never see
A bug as ugly as a flea
.
A flea whose chewing mouth is prest
against the doggie’s hairy chest.

A flea that bites the beast all day,
And lifts its bristled legs to prey.

A flea that will in summer tear
A bloody hole where doggie’s bare.

Upon whose body germs abound
And parasites throughout are found.

Pets are  kept by fools like me,
But God knows I despise the flea.

Fleas - With Apologies To Joyce Kilmer

I think that I shall never see
a beast as loathsome as a flea.

A flea whose hungry mouth consumes
all the blood that it exhumes.

A flea that gets into my hair
and makes me scratch 'til I am bare.

A flea that makes me itch all day
and irritates in every way.

Upon whose head curses we rain;
whose biting we have scratched in vain.

Poems are made by fools like me,
but God should not have made the flea.

Premium Member Fleas, Lice, Spiders, Mice

I like spiders and I like black ants.
For fleas and lice, I take another stance.
Sometimes, I wonder if they admire us.
The same question goes for a virus.

Neither foolish fleas and lice, spread by mice, 
Nor black ants and spiders, heed my advice.
Disgusting dirt and dust cannot defend
Against a vacuum cleaner's business end.

I'll add one more stanza in this edit 
To give that nasty virus credit
For being both invincible and mean 
And evading vacuums - COVID-19.

Premium Member Fleas Chickadees Chimpanzee and Mr Paul Klee

In magnificent memory of Vee See’s zaniest chimpanzee
Probably discussed by merry monkey’s chipping chickadee
Readily and aptly apparent by three who seldom agree
Incredibly supping with Mamie, Marjorie and Mr. Paul Klee

Please pass the honey and the light brie said brazen bumblebee.
No one capably eats brie with lemon tea said a flickering flea.
Advice is free but listen, skinny skeleton, I dare you to try and oversee.
Chimpanzee and chickadee fell down laughing at this on one knee.
