A Leech Who Likes to Kiss


By Fenella Shorty





"Smooch...."

"Ouch! Catch the leech!

It's sitting smugly on your back"



This is the greeting that I get

But I'm just a friendly leech

I am a leech who likes to kiss!



I say: "Hello bird! I'm a leech,

I like to kiss!"

But bird - not kissing back...



I say: "Hello snake, I'm a leech,

I like to kiss!"

But snake is anti-leech!



I say: "Hello, boy Andy, I'm a leech,

I like to kiss!"

But Andy screams: "Take off the leech!"



And then, one day

I say: "Hello, Nurse Katie, I'm a leech

I like to kiss!"



And Nurse says: "Hi!

We need the leech

Who likes to kiss


For all the boys and girls we have

They need the leech,

To kiss them better"



And now I'm a leech who likes to kiss

I say "Hello, I'm Doctor Leech,

I'll kiss you better!"
