Lesson At Luigi's
Myra mouse made Micah mad
Spun old Micah turning sad
He runs away to find a bite
For two at Luigi’s diner
Along his way, the red hawk gliding
Overflight above Luigi’s
Quickly spots a dapper mouse
Hawk dumpster dives for dinner
Micah never thought to fly
But in his sadness faced the sky
To plead the spirits justify
His point on Myra’s issue
In a flash, old Micah saw
Foreboding hawk descending fast
Swiftly judgement straight from god
His seasons darting ending
Solid dumpster many gallons
Steel protects him from the talons
The wary hawk then losing sight
His fine-dressed dinner taken flight
Such a scare, the quick decision
Micah swears he’d met his fate
By mercy spared to operate
Forgiveness Micah’s only mission
Finding pizza crust with cheese today
Micah running back the shortest way
Home to share his change of heart
With Myra swiftly dining
Since that day without delay
Old Micah knows the better
Recalls the hawk that fateful day
Turns grace in every manner
