Change of Heart

Has the mouse now left the house Or has the cat attacked? As now it’s quiet in the night And I wish to go for snack But, there on counter is the sign The mouse was not too far In fact I see the darned critter Behind that mason jar It looks so huge, but so deceived Enlarged through looking glass Oh, come on cat, get off your butt Before I kick you in the …wait I think it’s gone, yes from this world It lay there ever still I’ll go and clean it up, just now While now I have the will But, there a twitch, oh my it moved I think it’s still alive I cannot move any closer to it Until I’m sure it died But then I’d feel so evil I cannot see it pass I must go save the little guy Before the cat gets it, at last
