What Animal Would You Be

i am a mouse
small and sleek
big-eyed and curious
i always sneak
arund the corners
watching everyone's moves
until i have my chance
to come out of my nest
i hide
under your sinks
and in the shallow corners of your house
listening to the conversation,
but never butting in---
Unless you have a cat!
then i scurry for my life!



what animal would you be contest

Some women are afraid of mice, but I've always thought they were cute -- as long as they're not in my house. LOL Had a great laugh when I read the last two lines. Cool poem. Congratulations on your win in Kristen's contest! Love, Carolyn
