Could you,.. love a ninja?

Could you hold a

Ninja in your arms

And console him after

An assassination attempt

On the czar of some foreign land

Has gone awry?

...And just let him cry?

Could you nod and smile

When your ninja silently, invisibly

Comes down the stairs

In the morning for breakfast

And eats the scrambled eggs

And pancakes you prepared--

Without so much as a "thank you"

...Just grabbing his sais and leaving

Dirty dishes behind?

SHOULD you,.. love a ninja?
