The Flea

by E. S. Strout

Source: Ogden Nash, “The Germ

A sneaky creature is the flea,
Despite his lowly pedigree.
His customary place to feast
Is on the hide of man or beast.
In whimsy he most oft indulges,
By raising on your skin, wee bulges.
Now do you feel a little twitchy?
A flea can make you mighty itchy.
