Cat and Mouse

Silly stuff a girl writes when she is bored...

~~~

In my hand I hold a mouse

It does not mind at all

I like to roll it side to side

To catch things as they fall

It's a game I like to play

The mouse catches the cheese

Before it falls onto the floor

Where ants wait for a piece

I have to watch out for the cat

Sometimes he likes to jump

When I roll my mouse around

He gives it a good thump

Late at night I leave my mouse

Upon its sleeping pad

Hoping cat and mouse play nice

While I just rest a tad

Cat swats mouse, mouse falls down

Boy, now I am really mad

Cat is tangled in mouse's tail

My kitty's been very bad

Come here mouse I'll help you up

Back to your special spot

I hope there's nothing broken

Because that would suck a lot

In my hand I hold a mouse

To slide across the screen

Of course it's not a real mouse

(That would be kind of mean)

Beautiful ending! Sleeping on its pad, nothing is broken, I found these lines a little weird for mouse attributes until the end came to clear everything up! Very nice, maybe some catch on maybe others get surprised, some might not even understand but I think its the beauty of writing

It may be just me, but I feel like your personality bounces off the page when you write children's stuff.

This was like finding a Ham and Cheese Omelet at the end of a rainbow. Nice job! Really nice job!

In moments like these I hear girl soul frolicking in semantic play. What a treat to hear your sweet as you and mouse play.

Regards,

Thank you for the fun comment Al. :)

This is quite unique. Leaves me curious & thinking of a cat manipulating the mouse toward the cheese that is the internet. I enjoy the humor you brought to it though. Lol it is quite ridiculous at times, but in a hysterical way.

[Ana Papaya]

Thank you. .:)

[Ana Papaya]
