Poem

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.
