Could You Love a Ninja?

Could you ... love a ninja?
Could you hold a
     Ninja in your arms
     and console him after
     an assassination attempt
     on the czar of some foreign land
     has gone awry?
          ... And just let him cry?

Could you nod and smile
     when your ninja silently, invisibly
     came down the stairs
     in the morning for breakfast
     and ate the scrambled eggs
     and pancakes you prepared --
          Without so much as a "Thank you"
          ... just grabbing his sais and leaving
          dirty dishes behind?

SHOULD you ... love a Ninja?
