The Ultimatum
A poem for the Writers Cramp
Rated:
E
by
Avg Rating: (2)
Sweetie pie I love you true
But there's one thing you just must do.
I really can no more abide
My itchy, bumpy spotted hide.

I know you love your cats so dear
And always like to have them near.
But the fleas have just got out of hand
It's time for me to take a stand.

I know you could not hurt a flea
You value creatures equally.
And so, see here, I made this swing!
And over here there's three small rings.

Fernando here (I've named them all),
Will be the ringman standing tall.
A flea clown will be just the thing!
We'll charge admission. Coins, ka-ching!

We'll make some money, have a ball
The kitty cats won't mind at all.
For me my sweet, please train them well?
A Flea Circus - or me......do tell?


Written for the following prompt:
Your domicile has been infested with fleas... write a story or poem (comedy preferred) as how you got rid of them without the help of chemicals or an exterminator
