The Mouse and the Cat

The Mouse and the Cat

Nervous whiskers peered through the crack
Between the oven and kitchen wall
The coast seemed clear, no danger in sight
He would make a dash for the hall!
Β -
Cat’s nose twitched as his patience paid off
As mouse scurried to the bin
He leapt from his lair at the bottom of the stairs
Determined mouse wouldn’t see him coming
Β -
The bin crashed, and fell on its side
As its contents spilled on the floor,
Cat recovered and sniffed the air
As mouse sped past the door
Β -Β 
The cat was normally so lazy
Thought mouse, whose plan now seemed so crazy!
Was this the end? so it would seem
He was going to take one for the team!
Β -
He jumped and hid in the fireplace
He’d made it just in time,
Mouse fell through a hole in the cavity
And was never more grateful for gravity!
Β -
As the cat peered through the hole
He believed he was finally the winner,
With his heart in his chest, mouse caught his breath
As his brothers ate the cats’ dinner!

Hi John,

"Cat and Mouse" can be a dangerous game
If the former wins, the mouse is maimed
But the latter usually outsmarts it's foe
While the family has his food in tow

Peace and Love,
