Tom and Jerry

I heard a rustle in the undergrowth
felt thunder in the ground,
my eyes fixed on the corner
as the monster came around.

As far as I could see
he was heading my way,
I hope he hasn't seen me
or this could be my last day.

I got back home but I could see
he's heading for my house,
and then I laughed,it's just a cat
but forgot that I'm a mouse.
