CINNAMON
by Lois Kromhoff (BC)

Susie had a cinnamon cat
with fleas and fluff and bow.
Everywhere that Susie sat,
the fleas and fluff would go.

Susie brushed the fluff away.
The fleas were all a-dither;
but when she went to school one day,
some fleas and fluff went with her.

Fleas made teacher squirm and itch.
Her cries were loud and shocking.
She fluttered like an angry witch
and clutched her sleeve and stocking.
