Random Doggerel, 18


Random Doggerel

Misnamed 9: Flea Beetle

The beetle is not happy—no:
It doesn’t want to be a flea.
I understand—I think I know:
That name would not, of course, please me.

The flea’s not happy either, for
A beetle’s not a pleasant choice.
Oh, all (he thinks) is such a bore—
He sees no way he can rejoice.
