The Flea

This is by far the strangest poem I have ever read. it is about a flea biting a boy and a girl and the boy trying to convince the girl that it is now part of them. The girl kills the flea which upsets the man. I think the man likes the flea because it is a combination of their fluids, which he wants to do more of in a different way. This poem is from the 1500's and although the wording is a little difficult to understand I think that its subject matter is still timeless. Men are to this day still trying to find cleaver ways to go to bed with their lovers. ;)
