Serious Questions About Werewolves

Do Werewolves have fleas,
Eat the hair off their knees,
Tickle their nose until they sneeze?

How much do flea collars cost?
Are they plain or embossed?
Will it stay on or be lost?

Because of their imminent domain
Can we give it one, or best refrain?
Lest we receive much pain?

Does anyone know if werewolves have fleas
Have you been close enough to look at their knees
Do they tend to sit, scratch and sneeze?
Just before they attack, tell me please

Do fleas get in their nose
Make them sneeze and bite their toes
In human form wouldn’t it be neat
If they scratched their ears with their feet


Okay, I have officially lost my mind.......

Barbara, Nina, thank you

I just had to do something that wasn't serious. Especially after listening to all the hype over Full Moon. *LOL* Wonder what a vampire would do if someone pulled his teeth? Or if he got cavities from people with high blood sugar? Respectfully, Rett: “Anyone who sacrifices liberty for security deserves neither.” Benjamin Franklin

Walks in and looks

Walks in and looks around…says “yep, its official, I knew this day was coming”. Werewolves who sneeze with fleas on their knees…need I say more? I got a serious kick out of it though. Now excuse me while I go scratch my ears with my toes right after I pick the fleas from my nose. And btw…the answer is YES to all of the above. Later, Quills “A man who is ~of sound mind~ is one who keeps his inner madman under lock and key." …consider yourself free.

perhaps you have officially lost your mind

Yes yes, perhaps you have officially lost your mind, however some of our greatest artist were - shall we say - just a little different. *smile* I will say for certain that I have not, recently, if ever, read a poem on this subject. Only a couple of things I might change to keep the tense current: L2 eat the hair from their knees L3 tickle their nose until they sneeze? and I might not capitalize every line, but that's just a personal preference. It worked for the greats of old. As for content? Oh my goodness you have posed some interesting questions between bites and sneezes and hair breathing wheezes. Your poem is charming, entertaining and really quite delightful. I enjoyed this very much. Thank you. ~Pamela

Pamela, Thank you.

I appreciate it. Sometimes a person has to do what a person has to do. *L* What can I say, I seriously think I lost my mind years ago and have been searching for it ever since. Respectfully, Rett: “Anyone who sacrifices liberty for security deserves neither.” Benjamin Franklin

Fleas on werewolves

are STDs on their human form (or so I would assume). I really like the rhyme Rett and I'm afraid I can't find anything to critique! It's good to be back, Kelsey
