Can I Keep Him?

Oh please can I keep him?

He followed me home!

I’ll wash him, I’ll feed him,

I won’t let him roam!

I’ll make him a bed,

And I’ll clean out his bowl.

Oh please, let me keep him—

My baby Black Hole!

He won’t make a problem,

He won’t make a mess,

He won’t cause more clutter—

In fact, he’ll cause less!

Whatever you feed him,

He’ll never get full—

He’s got such a strong

Irresistible pull!

He won’t share your secrets,

However surprisin’—

They won’t travel on from

His event horizon.

He’ll keep me from sunburns!

He’ll eat every ray!

You’ll save on my sunscreen!

Oh please, can he stay?

You’ll try to resist him

To not let me win,

But look at this cutie—

He just draws you in!

My baby Black Hole

Gives me such satisfaction.

Just step a bit closer—

You’ll feel the attraction!
