Cat and Mouse

There was this little mouse
Who was always being chased 
By the most vicious of cats
Always bruised battered and abused
This little mouse said one day 
I'm sick of this game with vicious cats
This time I'm going to strike back
I'm intelligent
I've played the cats game
And I know the rules
I'm going to bend the cats game
I'm going to play with these cats
Like these cats play with me
To see what's so stimulating about
Being a vicious cat 
with a scared little mouse 
to play with and terrorize
So she started playing this bent game
And she's getting so intellectually stimulated
And reward receptors are going off in her head
And the little scared mouse thought to herself
Oh hell yes. I really like this game instead

I read your poem, and you are indeed right, it is quite similar. The circumstances are different, so is the outcome, but yeah....
