Ode to a Piece of Lint #5

Just a small harmless piece of lint
Descended from the air.
It was gray, shapeless, and solemn,
But I didn't really care.
It landed on my overcoat.
It jumped around a little bit.
And then it gave me a toothless smile.
My humble piece of lint.
I keep my friend in a jar.
I don't want to lose him from a breeze.
He's as happy as a lint can be
As he listens to the birds and the bees.
