A riddle all human should inherently get
What retracts as if opposed
When taking smells in through your nose?
A protein leacher
And feature of both god and preacher.
Father of none
But bound to mature with all sons
This wily creature may make home of your pores
But running wild will cause people to slam shut their doors
In absence of flock
May make strangers more apt to then talk
Lives mostly dead
Adoring your head
By law it must feed on a chain
In the throat of hydrophilic beasts you may find its remains
The frantic whip of its tail
Will cause your skin to boil and wail
Find it submerged, unwinding in a pool
And you will find its hatred cool and unspooled
It has relented its aggression
But wind blows it back to stasis tension
It burrows without claws until duely undug
Builds a nest on the surface it has just plugged
Its presence is rude when it greets the eye
So abhorrent it can make even a blind man cry
Speaks its convocation to a select few on the earth
A birds eye view clearly reveals it’s unnecessary and convoluted from birth
Struts as, above and below shadows
Circumvents the cove from where all sad flows
