Educated fleas need PhD's
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 by how they look in others' eyes
They know they're fully realized
Or hope to be
What I need
What I need
What I need (I need some juice)
What I need (So I can reproduce)
What I need (I need some juice)
What fleas need (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
