Robin Mouse and King Snake
Robin Mouse scurried through the forest cautiously
A vicious rumor said that king snake was after him.
He got his bow and arrows out and tiptoed gingerly.
Fully recognizing how fast king snake could come out of those leaves
Finishing him off before he got his wits about him.
King snake watched him for a long while, but was afraid of arrows
So was no threat at all, knowing they would not be swallowed easily.
Robin Mouse never knew, so was always on guard, which served him well in other situations.
