Ode to Urchin

	I had a little sea urchin
		I kept it cool and wet
	I don't know why I kept it
		I guess it was my pet

	Everything was going dandy
		Everything was fine
	Until that fateful day
		We drank a little wine

	Our minds all clouded over
		We took a little walk
	Down the street, around the corner
		And up to the next block

	And standing there in front of us
		Stood the local pub
	I said "Let's go get a drink."
		Urchin whined "Blub blub."

	Thirsty as we ever were
		Urchin asked me for a drink
	"No urchins!" yelled the bartender
		And made a big ol' stink.

	So I had to leave poor urchin
		out upon the street
	I bought him a cheap beer
		which it grabbed with suction feet

	Time passed far too quickly,
		I knew I went too far
	When 15 hours later,
		I stumbled from the bar

	Out upon the sidewalk
		Laying in the grime,
	An empty bottle of beer
		And a little pool of slime

	"Urchin!" I called out,
		fearing for his spines
	I looked and looked and looked
		But I was nearly blind.

	Early the next morning,
		'Round 5 or 6 at night
	I continued with my searching
		Though I was running out of light

	I walked around the corner
		And up to the next block
	Searching for my urchin
		Though every door was locked.

	Looking for a lead
		I went to find a clue
	Into the bar I went
		Looking for one who knew

	I drank a bit of beer 
		and went about my searchin
	then made some nifty posters
		that looked just like my urchin

	I woke up the next morning
		Earlier than planned
	Standing at my door
		was a funny little man

	I recognized him instantly
		It was the old street merchant
	Among the wares he carried
		He held my little urchin!

	The poor thing was all hard
		and was hollowed out inside
	And coming from behind him
		A little plug was tied

	Reluctantly I paid for him 
		And when I plugged him in
	He lit up in a purple glow
		That really made me grin
