Ego wilt

I am tormented with ego-wilt today

My ego has shrunk with dismay.

The stairs are unclean

The fluff has been seen.

And I am afraid that somebody will say.

My solution is to buy a small tent

As then I shan’t pay any rent.

The cat will breathe over me

Till the ice melts un-soberly.

Then I shall crawl out all bent.

Do you like my new term ego-wilt?

Do such words toss you into guilt?

Well, eventually we’ll adapt

And get our brains mapped.

I hope that my eyes will not tilt.
