(Published by Five Fleas Itchy Poetry)
The problem, fleas, site titular,
is where there’s five; may well be more.
It’s boring when obsession grips,
the more so for their sawing tricks.
If only they were cochineal,
excuse to pulverise for blood;
though mine transfused, if found and drained,
icing on cake, ‘B positive’.
Ooh, gave me the shivers this one Stephen.
