Letter "F" » Fleas
"A blockhead, bit by fleas, put out the light,
And chuckling cried, "Now you can't see to bite."
Author: Unattributed Author
About: Fleas
"Great fleas have little fleas upon their backs to bite 'em,
And little fleas have lesser fleas, and so ad infinitum,
And the great fleas themselves, in turn, have greater fleas to go
on,
While these again have greater still, and greater still, and so
on."
Author: Augustus de Morgan
About: Fleas
"I cannot raise my worth too high;
Of what vast consequence am I!"
"Not of the importance you suppose,"
Replies a Flea upon his nose;
"Be humble, learn thyself to scan;
Know, pride was never made for man."
Author: John Gay
About: Fleas
"It was many and many a year ago,
In a District styled E.C.,
That a monster dwelt whom I cam to know
By the name of Cannibal Flea,
And the brute was possessed with no other thought
Than to live–and to live on me."
Author: Thomas Hood, Jr.
About: Fleas

And sent me away with a Flea in my ear."

"Panurge had a flea in his ear.
[Fr., Panurge auoyt la pulee en l' oreille.]"
Author: Francois Rabelais
About: Fleas
"So, naturalists observe, a flea
Has smaller fleas that on him prey;
And these have smaller still to bite 'em,
And so proceed ad infinitum.
Thus every poet in his kind
Is bit by him that comes behind."
