Ode to the Flea
You will never be.
But what the hey
I got into the fray.
Defending the Evil Empire
Hoping to avert -
The Silicon Valley crisis.
Flea, you will never be
Part of Channel 51.
Flea, you will never see
Mars or all the stars.
Flea, you will never hie
Along the autobahn.
Flowers for Algernon
I am definitely not.
Cruder than oil
At the zap of the hottentot.
Growing a new brain -
Absolutely a pain -
T-Rex in Texas, oh - my
A gigabyte to go!
We could use a dozen
For drumsticks to grow.
