Educated fleas need PhDs
In veterinary medicine and husbandry
The tenured ones are circumspect
With their crumbs of intellect
So students need to genuflect
Down on one knee

I'm so alone
I'm chilled down to the bone
I wish I had a host

Educated fleas have neuroses
They fear that since they're parasites that's all you'll see
At times they feel paralyzed
Of how they're seen in others' eyes
They know they're fully realized
Or hope to be

What I need
What I need
What fleas need
(I need some juice
So I can reproduce)
What they need
(I need some juice
So I can reproduce)

So now I'm in the stacks
In search of snacks
Those crumbs of higher intellect
Stuck in the cracks
I write of photosynthesis
But this is my hypothesis
Fleas really need more than this
And that's a fact
