Caren Krutsinger Poet Prose

The Bully Story

Let’s push mushroom man around today Mouse One said.
Mice Two and Three went along with it.
Being followers and wanting to be on the bully’s good side.
The mushroom man protested and fought back.

They struggled with him all morning but could not get him pushed.
How long are your roots? Mouse One demanded.
A tree on the other side of the forest said “They stop at my roots.”
The mice ran over to try and push the tree over.

Moral of the story: Bullies are not very bright.
