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.
