Welfare Mouse
spring sprang
summer doldrums
have began and yet
from the bowels
of our basement
creeps a freak
a should be
a not wanna be
a subspecies
when winter
birds return
so should he
exit and breath
not the moldy
but at least see
the sun and feel
warmth for free
not to be
a household
burden worrisome
running under foot in fright
and god forbid he
ever finds the strike
anywhere anytime
matches
that were
left behind
