fleas

[Lightning Rod]

I saw a flea
it lit on my cigarette
my sister's dog was the culprit

stinky little animal
with abandonment issues
but I'm not a shrink

he left a flea
and I told her
to get him dipped
before I babysit again

I don't mind one flea
I can flick one flea
it's two fleas that worry me

[saw]

two or more can be a problem...insidious little bastards...nearly killed all of England with that rat flea that spread the Black Death...but this poem of course is much lighter than that...good advice, Lrod...now you have got us on our toes....

[WIREMAN]

really now.....all those damn flea markets terrify me.....

[hester_prynne]

I think that I shall never see
a thing as loathsome as a flea
and how I thank the powers that be
for bringing boric acid to me,
it kills the fleas nontoxic
gentle, like a foxlick.

Indeed, fleas on a cig
I hope they died satisfied....
their little souls
carried off in smoke rings

hest.. 'their little souls, carried off in smoke rings'...
that was great, you poet you...

lightning rod... it started with one. i guess one isn't so bad. amusing, maybe. but then it ended up with two, which is less amusing..
