I was sitting in my hot tub when a sound was heard,<\/span><\/p>\n

I thought to myself, “I recognize that little ‘help’ word,”<\/span><\/p>\n

So I searched all around and what did my eyes see?<\/span><\/p>\n

I took this picture from afar so you would believe me,<\/span><\/p>\n

It was a dolphin flea in an “O”, he seemed tired n’ slow,<\/span><\/p>\n

I studied it hard to detect that little clear dolphin flea,<\/span><\/p>\n

But kids you’ve seen them so tell adults to believe me,<\/span><\/p>\n

We call them fleas those little hot tub bubbles full of air,<\/span><\/p>\n

Watch your tub with bubbles on and they are everywhere,<\/span><\/p>\n

But when my stomach is hungry it will eat any type of grain,<\/span><\/p>\n

I ate that “O” so now it can be said, Pa Pa has a tiny flea brain.<\/span><\/p>\n

The end.<\/span><\/p>\n

POEM: Moral of the Tale of Dolphin Flea and Cheerio<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Dolphin fleas shouldn’t float on Cheerios with a hungry man around,<\/span><\/p>\n

Because that Dolphin flea may be swallowed to become ???? bound.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Men can’t fight\u00a0 “Cheerio urge” if he hears the word or crunchy sound,<\/span><\/p>\n

“Cheerio” he will say, meaning see you later, I am breakfast bound,<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

My grandkids have said “Cheerios can be used for many things,”<\/span><\/p>\n

First on my little geniuses mind is that they make very good rings,<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

No doubt that’s true because most circles do form into a ring,<\/span><\/p>\n

I sit and I wonder to myself, ‘if brought to church do Cheerios sing’,<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

We must agree the oat filled goodness of Cheerios is a great snack,<\/span><\/p>\n

When I was a kid I crunched on them from my tree-house shack,<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

It’s easy to see what a Cheerio can do as it has me way off my road,<\/span><\/p>\n

I have no doubt you thought track was next but I wrote this as I rowed,<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I get Cheerio strength to row my boat as I search to see a dolphin flea,<\/span><\/p>\n

Moral of this story of Dolphin flea, “if on a Cheerio you’ll be inside of me.”<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The end,<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I love my grandkids I do, I speak in rhyme in all I do,<\/span><\/p>\n

To keep from hurting any feelings, I love Patti too,<\/span><\/p>\n

For without you, those little rascals wouldn’t be<\/span><\/p>\n

Nor would this crazy little rhyme of “O”and no flea.<\/span><\/p>\n
