A Game of Cat and Mouse

Oh my goodness! Did you see that??? A mousey riding on the back of a cat Guess these guys have kissed and made up Heard mousey yell “Hey! Giddy-up!” Great to see them getting along so well Mousey's relieved, as you probably can tell Wearing a big grin from ear to ear And Felix is enjoying it too, it appears Remember this lesson from one time rivals Really don't need conflict for survival It's a whole lot better to laugh and have fun Than face extinction at the point of a gun So what did you learn from this little tale? Enjoy yourself and drink lots of ale You'll see little mousies and cats at play Instead of killings on TV every day!

Yea! Finally, someone -- you! -- with a concrete proposal for reeling in the absolutely awful violating violence that predominates on the large and small screens today. Three chairs for J.E!

Jack I once had a cat that captured a chipmunk twice and let it go playing with it. It can happen.

You've taken deep rejected truths and dipped them in chocolate. The whimsy may mask the seriousness of your exoneration, but that is what makes this piece so much more poignant! A true master!!

Oh Jack I wish I had found your poems ages ago ! Your cat and Mousey didn't disappoint. I love it. What better way to articulate arch-enemies than with Felix and friend.
