  The Bug and the Flea marched on Rome,
  to bring down the Roman Empire.
  Nero wished they had stayed at home
  and nations would toast to see Rome on fire.
  
  It was a big decision to take,
  for Rome was no small cake.
  Did they bite off more than they could chew?
  They proved us all wrong, the mighty two.
  
  Said the Bug to the Flea. “I’m itching for a fight!�
  As the Roman legions came into sight.
  The legions armour glistened in the sun,
  but soon they would be on the run.
  
  The senate cried. “It’s just a bluff!�
  Nero said. “I’m taking no more guff!�
  But the Bug was rough and the Flea was tough
  and they always did their stuff.
  
  The Flea said. "Rome was not built in a day!�
  But the Bug he spoke few words
  and if Caesar was alive today,
  with the Bug and the Flea, he would never cross swords.
  
  The Flea held them off while the Bug circled ‘round.
  The pincer move was invented that way
  and so, with a battle plan that proved sound,
  Rome fell in just one day.
  
  The legions were right in refusing to fight;
  The Praetorian Guard ran-off into the night.
  By morning light no Roman was in sight,
  they had fled from the Bug and the Flea fierce bite.
  
  Now the United Nations is a joke they say,
  for all the world to see
  and Rome would still rule this day,
  if not for the Bug and the Flea.
