The Mice Plague

A fat cat from Ararat
Ate too many mice and there she sat,
I have gorged myself I do confess,
My stomach is in great distress.

All I can do is sit and stare
As mice pass by without a care,
There's only so much one cat can do,
Perhaps the farmer might need two.

G'day John... The house cats are too fussy these days John. I did see a mouse plague once and the cats had no interest after a day or two and that was way up north of Ararat. Thanks John - Lindsay

Hello Lindsay, I was thinking of a mouse plague in the country when i wrote it. Before i went into teaching i was a full time farmer. I am glad Ararat rhymes with cat. Thanks again Lindsay for reading my poems. Kind regards---John
