Make tiny flea harnesses, and attach them to fleas (millions of them.... using prison labour of course as a suitable additional punishment for those who have committed particularly heinous crimes)
One end of the flea harness is attached to a device which produces a tiny burst of electric current when
jerked by even a miniscule amount. Place rows of such tethered fleas in a large matrix and parade shaggy dogs continuously in front of them, just beyond their leaping range.
Results.... a Flea-powered source of electricity, and a place to walk dogs. Call it Flea-Lectricity!

Big fleas have little fleas upon their backs to bite them, and little fleas have lesser fleas, and so ad infinitum. |

sp. upon their backs to bite ’em |

actually sp. "and so on, ad infinitum" |

Actually, the original has "and so ad infinitum". |
|

But the original original, on which this was based,
went: |
|

"The vermin only tease and pinch
Their foes superior by an inch.
So, naturalists observe, a flea
Has smaller fleas that on him prey;
And these have smaller still to bite 'em,
And so proceed ad infinitum."
