Sense Sonnet - Steamer

 Double Intrusion

A grain of sand gets stuck in me,

Causing an irritation - damn!

And so does respond my body

To give some relief to this clam.

I use some of the same stuff that

Is used in making of my shell.

This stuff flows to where the sand's at,

And coats over the sand real well.

Layer after layer of stuff

Goes 'round the sand and forms a ball.

As the time has gone by enough,

I feel much better after all.

But humans make my life awhirl,

Grabbing this thing they call a pearl.
