DMC: "Cock-a-doodle Flea" by Jan Gars




Cock-A-Doodle Flea

I yelled cock-a-doodle
Atop of his poodle
Who's sleeping right next to his head
But he can't hear my chant
'Cause I'm small as an ant
So maybe I'll bite him instead

Lori Degman has challenged us to wake Farmer McPeeper.  If you would like to join in the animal antics, write a stanza in the same style as COCK-A-DOODLE OOPS! (click HERE for details) and send to TodaysLittleDitty (at) gmail (dot) com or use the contact form in the sidebar to the right.

All participants will be rounded up for an end-of-month hoedown on August 29th and entered to win a personalized copy of Lori's delightful new picture book:

  1. Beware the little ditty with the big bite! Thanks for such a fun contribution, Jan... but keep that flea away from my Elvis-loving hound dog, y'hear? Don't want him getting "all shook up!" ;)

  3. Just terrific. There are a lot of people who know about those fleas. Too bad Farmer McPeeper does not.
