Willingly Enslaved


















He is one of Nature's
more delicate of
warm-blooded creatures,
supremely entitled, he
believes, to excesses
of kind consideration.

Of especial concern to
him are several matters
of outstanding expectation,
chief among them his
creature comforts and,
of course, his board.

His very small body
finds supreme discomfort
in the awkward vicissitudes
of weather, as neither
excess of hot nor cold
provide a suitable nor
appreciated environment.

As for food, whose fragrance
and enticing sight he
cleaves to with undying
devotion, his tiny pink tongue
and brisk, white teeth
particularly adapted to dispatch,
he has charged us to provide.

It is abundantly clear to
this small creature who deigns
to share with us a living space,
that divine providence supplied
our presence to him for
the singular purpose of
serving his needs well and
truly. We strive to excel.
