Earb ersta

This kitten woke with a ringing persistence

And thought it best to seek medical assistance

The smiling vet gave her the all clear

But the ringing continued in the inner ear

Soon through the ear holes parasitic fingers clawed

And she coughed up its feet which reached down to the floor

Once this occurred her poor fate was sealed

And the last thing I heard was a pitiful squeal

As on parasite legs they bounded away

And have never been heard of since that day.

What a sorry ending for this puss

Who only thought she had tinnitus.
