Why The World Has Fleas and Mosquitoes:
Now I'm no brilliant theologian
Of that there is no doubt
But I think I've figured
Why there are Fleas and Mosquitoes around about
See Noah was organising his cruise boat
Had the list of who he should admit
A male and female specimen of each species
Who were able, robust and rather fit
But when he looked down the list
He saw Mosquitoes and those awful fleas
So he drew a line through their names
Which left a few vacancies
He thought he'd invite pairs from the religions
Muslims, Christians and Hindus too
I'm not sure how the math works
But they came in two by two
Well they did, except the Mormons
Who insisted one man and a few wives
Then the Protestants and Catholics
Were at each other like cats with knives
The Rabbi and the Iman
Couldn't agree on where to land the ark
And each pair shouted they alone had the light
The rest being lost and in the dark
It sounded like World War Three
Although the First World Wars had not yet been fought
For this was still back in Genesis
And history had not the twentieth century up and caught
Anyway I digress from my narrative
Let's just say Noah tired of all the din
So he put the religious folk in a lifeboat
And bade the fleas and mosquiteoes "please come in"
And so that dear readers is the explanation
Why we are blessed with things that bite
Next week the saga of the lifeboat
And did they see the lighthouse light?
