Consanguinity

Not long ago something happened to me,
I acquired a pest, who will not let me be.
It suddenly started, one warm day in May
When they moved in my house,
Now it's all through my day.
As everyday starts, I lie in my bed,
My eyes still fuzzy, the color of red...
I await her approach, the knock at my door;
The count has just started, only 99 more!
Dazed not awake, and pretending to sleep,
Quietly, quietly, still do I keep...
Later then, calmly, as I open my door,
I think of remedies for squeaks on the floor...
I look all around like some sort of crazed feign,
My goal right now is just not to be seen!
So quickly I tip-toe, quietly down the hall,
I try to escape, just to the bathroom stall.
Ludicrous this sounds, it's no easy feat,
For I must try to sneak, even to the toilet seat!
Finally I sit, breathing a sigh,
In seconds there's a knock...
I then start to cry!
Back in my room, just wanting to write,
You already know, she's right there in sight!
Incessant questions, all being the same;
She's back in five minutes, calling my name!
She is 'in-and-out','back-and-forth' all day long,
The stairs 'up-and-down' like the great ball in pong!
This all sounds intrusive, maybe even unfair;
Don't get me wrong, I really DO care.
I know she means well, I know she is bored...
And believe me, patiently, I pray to the Lord.
I love her, my mother, 'til death do us part.
I love her, I DO, with all of my heart!
But I do have one wish,
You can think me a F O O L...
That just for ONE day,
To be I N V I S I B L E!
