I have a new companion. He hangs out with me 24/7, literally never leaving my sight--even when I close my eyes. He is a long sperm-shaped floater in my right eye and I have named him Sherm the Worm ( yes I know that Sherm the Sperm would work, but the idea of a sperm in my eye was even more disturbing than a worm!). He is apparently shy because every time I try to look directly at him, he slithers to the right, just to the periphery of my vision. He doesn't cause me any discomfort. He doesn't turn around and talk to me (Joseph told me to be sure and let him know if that happened.). No, he just shows up constantly, and swims around, making himself especially known when I look at a white computer screen or a white page of a book.
I am not sure that I like Sherm. I mean, I didn't invite him over. I didn't ask him to move into my right eye. I am not sure how long he is planning to stay. Each morning when I wake up, I put on my glasses and then check to see if he is still there. So far, yes, he is.
Sherm Orr. Sounds strange. But I guess it sounds slightly better than Sperm Orr, right?

This is of the utmost importance... you need to keep an EYE on him.
We sing about Herman the Worm at our day camp. But he doesn't bother anyone.
I've got one in my left eye. In time when you start to forget to look for him, you won't see him any more. Then in order to see him you will have to really look for him.
Did any of that make sense??
:D:D
