(A proofreader's note regarding “leach” and “leech")

The little leech on Lisa latched
So firmly was attached
That remedies both dire and rash
Were serious options hashed.

If only she were granular
And rightly soluble,
Then she and leech could separate
By leaching possible.

Not being a sacrificial leech,
Yet leech-like with aplomb,
The worm has offered no response,
Advantage-taking some.

Advantage-taking discomforts
May carry itches each,
Thus causing cries of “eeeh” to be,
And pointing then to “leech.”

​Habitually sponging on a chum
Defines for us this leech;
It need not be an actual worm
But simply fill the niche.
