If i were a flea What would become of me? Would i simply be An itch That you had to scratch As i nestled Within your thatch Or drown in a flood As i quaffed on your blood Or nestled within the hair Of your cat so fair As you view it by the fire Scratching away like a feline choir Or jump about with springs on my toes Jumping so high, i could nibble your nose But not to be Being a flea Is not for me
