A witty SciFi short story

This is a fun, witty story about an alien colony of microscopic parasites, who inhabit their hosts without harming them. Their planet is destroyed, so they roam the Universe to find new hosts.
They come across a planet with creatures that seem to match their requirements of being reasonably intelligent and sociable and try to inhabit them.
Here begins an amusing story of observation and interaction with these host beings and their servile subspecies.

I was at first nonplussed as to where this was heading, but very quickly cottoned on and listened all the way with a big grin on my face.

The narrator Christopher M. Allport was clear and concise and read at a good pace.

I received this book in audio book format free from the author and am leaving this review of my own volition.
