Sunday Selfie and poem!

The humans really do their best.

But when it comes to where we rest,

They think that we should lie atop,

And not below and be a mop.

Here she comes, all of a fluster,

Mumbling that I've become a duster.

But I assure that I'm ok

and under here is where I'll stay.

There is a reason that I'm here

And it's not because I'm feeling queer.

Or that I am lacking vigour,

But, in fact, I'm dodging Tigger!

He eats my food and takes my bed

He worms his way into my head.

He's like a parasite, my mate,

He's only here to irritate.

So until that day when he is gone,

Or, heaven forfend, he cottons on!

That I am here below the chair

Waiting for him to disappear...

I shall be very calm and quiet and still,

 And do my best to not be shrill.

But if he sees me down here nestling,

We shall indulge in some all-in-wrestling.

The jury's out on who'll be victor.

Tigger's big, but I am quicker!

The time has come to end this rubbish,

So point the mouse and click on "publish"!

parasite -  an organism (Tigger) which lives in or on another organism (its unwilling host, me!) and benefits by deriving nutrients at the other's expense (Yep!)
