He was small and dark,
not the stereotypical kind;
But he left a lasting impression
as he skittered and passed me by.

Now, I’m pretty easy going if
we remain in our separate homes;
But he broke the code established
when he entered my domain,

I know his cute tail wagging
was not a fond hello;
But like army infantry,
he was sliding toward a goal.

I was glad to give a hand
and carry him to the door;
But it’s imperative our socialities
are strictly held outdoors!
