Poetry: Parasites

by T.C Leonard

Created on: November 02, 2008

"Trials and Tribulations of the Common Flea"

Do you believe in reincarnation?

In this life I'm a flea

It's just not fair that cats and dogs

Bite and claw at me

Owners drizzle me with powder

And my hosts roll 'round in mud

Everybody hates me!

They must think I'm out for blood!

Can I retract that statement?

All I want's a little sip

And for that they want to kill me?

This really is a rip!

Maybe in my next life

I'll get the whole thing right

Ane be higher on the food chain-

Not some stupid parasite!
