My Puppy Has Fleas!
My puppy has fleas.
He got covered with fleas,
when we raced through the trees.
These fleas nip and tease.
They are biting my knees,
and they make Daddy sneeze.
Mom shouts, “Do something, please!
Because fleas cause disease."
I find shampoo, I squeeze,
and scrub off puppy’s fleas.
Now, sweet puppy’s flea free …
and my family's at ease!
He got covered with fleas,
when we raced through the trees.
These fleas nip and tease.
They are biting my knees,
and they make Daddy sneeze.
Mom shouts, “Do something, please!
Because fleas cause disease."
I find shampoo, I squeeze,
and scrub off puppy’s fleas.
Now, sweet puppy’s flea free …
and my family's at ease!
