The Mouse
as the mouse waits on the floor,
he hears the opening of the fridge door.
he runs across the kitchen floor,
as the owner is doing a chore.
the owner suddenly spots him on the flat kitchen floor.
he wonders what the mouse is doing and what he's looking for.
so the owner leaves the mouse alone to go open the fridge door.
the owner comes back, gives the mouse a snack, and it leaves the kitchen nothing more.
the next morning the owner is wide awake.
he goes to the kitchen and prepares to bake.
an hour later he's done and so is his vanilla frosted cake.
seconds later the mouse appears to see what he can take.
so the owner serves the mouse a small slice on a flat mini plate.
he says, "go on mouse eat at your own chosen rate.
I have to go to work or else I will be late".
the third day the owner comes home from his shift.
the mouse hears the owner and is extremely swift.
the owner spots the mouse and says, "Hey I got a gift".
the mouse gives the owner a stare wary of any tricks.
to get comfortable the owner slowly takes off his kicks.
then the owner shows the mouse a whole loaf of bread broken in tiny bits.
the mouse scurries to the bread and eats as he sits.
the owner says to the mouse, "this is the start of a beautiful friendship".
