Central Park Companions
Met some friends in Central Park,
A meeting overdue.
How wonderful to see them
And catch up on all that’s new!
We strolled around the reservoir
Then found a place to sit –
A shady bench with bushes,
Fore and aft, for just a bit.
As we conversed, a little mouse
Did scurry from the brush
To underneath our bench in quite
A mouse-like frenzied rush.
My friends were quite blasé.
One said, “Just raise your feet a bit.”
The other said, “It’s just a chipmunk.”
(She was full of ****.)
That mouse (or else its cousins)
Scampered back and forth all day,
At least for the entire time
Of our reunion stay.
Still, I must thank my lucky stars
We got to meet and that
The mouse that we encountered
Wasn’t actually a rat!
