My Three Flea Circus

Come see my three-ring circus:
fleas that loop de loop.

Miss Tiny wears a tutu.
She twirls a hula-hoop.

Bow Diddlie is in harness.
He pulls a three-wheeled cart.

Picasso works on canvas,
Painting a horse-eared lark.

Fleas make up my circus.
Skillfully they dance.

They're not paid gold of silver
or holidays in France.

I give each one my love and care.
Sips of blood my three fleas share.
