Three Mouse-cat-eers

The kittens found my bag of words And in their furry glee They tapped them with their tiny paws And wrote a poem for me The mouse, a house bound hermit Used its subtle tail To add some punctuation Lest the meter fail The dog sniffed idly, unimpressed For he was wary of those three For he’s the only one it seems They send outside to pee So, if you’ve two kittens and a mouse Hide those words inside a barrel Or bear the brunt of what they do For poetically …they’re feral

This is really fabulous. I like the childlike appeal. It is wonderful to be able to humanize feral animals.
