but I am not round

I am in a prison of water

but do not drown

hates the termite as much as the flea.

His tracks do not match, and his limbs detach,

A word there is of plural number

Foe to ease and tranquil slumber.

I don't know how she got it but she's avoiding that side which concerns me. But she doesn't mind sitting on my sleeve for warmth. I've searched in vain on the internet about this. She's about 2 or 3 years old.
