Ode to a Skrill
by Ma'ah, the Conflicted Poet<AnseRan@aol.com>

All hail to thee my loyal skrill
Who hangs upon my arm
You are my best protection
That keeps me safe from harm.

You cling so closely to me
That I barely know you're there,
Till you begin to wriggle
And you tug on my arm hair.

I know that you must love me
For you hug me all the while
I like to scratch your itches
For your purr can make me smile.

I no longer watch my diet
I deny myself no more,
You are the reason I can eat
For two or three or four.

My energy sustains you -
You can blast bad guys away.
Since I’m your primary mode of travel
I know you’ll never stray.

Be we the implants are concerned
And we do all debate,
What will we do when it is time
For all the skrills to mate?
