COULD YOU LOVE A NINJA?

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?
