Notes About The Poem

just a six pack of silliness to start off the day.

Never Trust a Hungry Mouse

a gray squirrel sits
motionless atop the fence
winter tugs its tail

silence at daybreak
a weak sun battles hoarfrost
ice diamonds sparkle

a cat shakes its paw
the kittens lost their mittens
a snowman chuckles

the congregation
huddles together in prayer
six feet apart

fun for all ages
Pacman and toilet paper
let the games begin

a lesson not learned
never trust a hungry mouse
to clean up its mess

Hey Mo, thanks for stopping by to read and comment. I've been busy chasing rainbows and grandchildren.
