Thought of the day

So, I just finished reading the new book from Stephen King called (Later) and in the book, he quotes from this old poem. It reminded me of how my deer grandma LeMond once recited the poem to me at least 50 years ago. Isn’t it funny how things like that can happen and it immediately takes you back in time. I am not sure who the original author is but his or her work lives.

Great fleas have little fleas upon their backs to bite 'em,

And little fleas have lesser fleas, and so ad infinitum.

And the great fleas themselves, in turn, have greater fleas to go on;

While these again have greater still, and greater still, and so on
