Abbi

She strikes a chord 
With many, mostly fear
For a decade now or so
She grown a foot a year

She lacks the gift of 
Sound and fair sight
How amusing it must be
To cause such a fright

Bring her a furry friend
And you’ll make her day
Beastly, I suppose but who
Likes squeaky creatures anyway

Yes, she comes to me in the night
Truth is, it’s become the norm
Not because she finds me tasty
But because she finds me warm
