Here they are, with fuzzy paws with pointed ears,
Awaiting my arrival, gracing me with kisses;
Bringing me joy throughout the years.
Despite the clawed curtains and broken dishes.
๐๐๐๐
Wild and wreckless, filled with boundless energy,
Brothers and sisters, bonded forever in love.
My favorite sickness, without the allergy,
A happy swarm of creatures from above.
๐๐๐๐
Once scared; full of resistance,
Lost and then found.
Now playing with dogs in peaceful coexistence.
With no fear of the pound.
๐๐๐๐
Home to me is a house full of pets
And a heart with no regrets.

I wanted to title this something different, but worried that my chosen title might cause problems entering the United States in the future so this is the new title. It's the greatest title. No one has ever written a title better than this. (All titles unrelated to content).
Let me be honest. I am finding this difficult. Now, I like a challenge, a stretch, a bit of an obstacle course. โWrite about the decline of the British Empire in the form of a narrative poem in which your protagonist is an artichokeโ I read, and flex my fingers. โWrite a haiku to evoke the sensation of sibilance using only the first half of the alphabet.โ โWellโ, I think to myself, โthis should be fun.โ But โwrite about a system that isnโt workingโ? A system that isnโt working? Now? In 2026? ONE system? My favourite system that isnโt working? The sexiest system that isnโt working? The one giving me the most angst day to day? The one giving me the most existential dread? I am, as I say, finding this difficult. I will own that I have contemplated writing a thousand words on why the steady โall onโ setting on my fairy lights is the EIGHTH of seven options which must be sequentially activated to get there, because that is a system that some fool came up with and it definitely doesnโt work, and now who is paying the price, eh? But how can I write about my fairy lights whenโฆ. Whenโฆ. Whenโฆ.
