This is something I do as often as possible.

I do it with caution, I do it with care,
I do it by rubbing its nose.
I do it by smiling more than I can bear,
I do it by taking off clothes.

The real problem is that I never really found out how to sate it. Somewhat like a human lover, who once turned on finds it hard to turn it off, my Ego now needs constant pampering and attention. I hope to someday find its Ego G-spot, or whatever those things have, and get it over with.
