From my series ‘Animals, Friends and People’.
Leeches are slimy things that cling to you
And suck your blood,
Leeches don’t flatter you or sing to you
Or do you good,
Leeches are creatures
With humanoid features
They act like your friends do,
Demanding and untrue,
Leeches are slimy things that cling to you
And suck your blood!
