Lets Keep Him

He was reading my ideals wave length, 
Peering into the depths of my philosophy, 
Spying on my dendrite highway. 
I wondered if there was room for him too 

Trixie my muse threw him against a wall 
Instead of shattering like the others, 
He rolled into a ball and laughed prettily 
His eyes were green and hazel, matching mine

 Let’s keep him I suggested. 
That was fifty three years ago 
Today he snores while Trixie and I write 
She is poking at him now, wanting to play
