#excepting

My animals are nicer to me,

Than any human being.

Wait, I know I sound like a weird hermit,

But they allow things humans won't permit.

I can be a nerd and talk about comics,

Then switch it up and tell all I know about atomics.

They even like when I talk about sports.

All the softball plays, the long and the short.

I don't have to be just a nerd or a jock or a thinker,

They like me however I am, much like a freethinker.

Sometimes they make me wish,

That my only worries were filling up their dish.

Life would be easier if,

DAILY VOCAB

案内 ( あんない ) guidance

以下 ( いか ) less than, below

以外 ( いがい ) excepting

医学 ( いがく ) medical science

生きる ( いきる ) to exist

Is that really to much to ask for?
