Vintage verse – A flea and a fly in a flue by Ogden Nash
A flea and a fly in a flue
A flea and a fly in a flue,
Were imprisoned; now what could they do?
Said the fly, “let us flee.”
“Let us fly,” said the flea,
And they flew through a flaw in the flue.
But I’d been saying the third and fourth lines as Said the flea, Let us fly; Said the fly, let us flee. I think I like my version better. Sorry, Ogden!
