The Leech

THE LEECH

Hey little leech, crawling up my shoe

Who the hell invited you

Out of your home in the leaves and mud

To dine upon my good old blood

Get thee hence off my leg

Get away from my foot I beg

Go on back to your cool damp home

Go on back and leave me alone

If you want to eat, don't pick on me

Go back and wait for the damn VC
