Performing Fleas Poem by VICTORIA GEORGE

Last week I bought performing fleas
From someone on eBay
I opened the box and, if you please...
The blighters ran away!

I searched for them here
and I searched for them there
Those little bugs had gone
Then I saw - a white dog hair
Walking on it’s own

I got the mag-ni-fier out
And then my jaw did drop
A flea was riding a uni-bike
Using the dog hair as a prop

I’m not sure where the others are
But Ive scratched my skin to hell
I’m using calomine lotion by the jar
And aloe vera gel

I’ve looked in my clothes,
I’ve looked in my hair...
Perhaps these bugs can fly?
My advice to you is just ‘take care
And be careful what you buy’
