to forsake its station there.
I put it in a parcel.
And left it at the store
the thing was there to greet me.
when I opened up my door,
I took it to the forest,
and tied it to a tree,
I found it in my kitchen
having sandwiches and tea.
I packed it in a carton
to disguise its size and shape,
I wrapped it and I stamped it
and I sealed it shut with tape.
I mailed it to the
on a mountain in Tibet,
I returned to see it sitting
on my brand-new TV set.
I concealed it in a rocket
that was bound for outer space,
it was back that very evening
with a smile upon its face.
It appears I can't evict it,
though I truly wish I could,
it's entirely too tenacious-
I suspect it's here for good!
