A Simple Game of Cat-And-Mouse

A cat crept out of hiding To ambush was she gliding Toward a mouse, unaware Whose time he was a-biding The tiny mouse did sniff the air His nostrils poking here and there Pricked his head up in alarm His radar beeped, 'Better beware. ' Stealthily the cat advanced The mouse's feet fairly danced As the cat's paw swiped thin air The mouse long gone, off he'd pranced This simple game of cat-and-mouse You too can play it, in your house Just make sure that you're the mouse If you'd like to keep your spouse
