A Fact of Life

Curious cats play While mice run away Sharp claws are no fun They pierce tender flesh Leaving holes galore. Rodents fear them For they bring death Finite is life For small and meek. Tides won’t turn Nature’s way Stays the same. Cats play Mice die. Fact!

I wondered how in the world you were going to end it. The last word of a Diminished hexaverse is always difficult for me as I usually want them to be two syllables. Nice one!

I have trouble with the last one, too. Have to remind myself every time that it's one syllable.
