Ode to Fleas

Oh, how I hate you.

You make my dog itch

and my kids see black specks

You get in my carpet.

and infest my dog.

I hate your little bodies

and your legs that jump high.

I dropped too much money

on ridding the house

of your infestious presence

and I'm kicking you out.

We're fogging,

we're spraying,

we're washing,

we're soaking.

If you know what was good,

you'd just leave today.
