Bad Kitty!

"Dear Cat I beseech you

Allow me to leave.

My children will miss me;

My dear wife will grieve.

My body is lean

And my stature is small

“My mouse, I applaud you

For stating your plea.

How brave of you, sir,

For flattering me.

For thinking I’m caring

And willing to chat.

My dear mouse, I’m a cat.”

“Perhaps, my fair feline,

Perhaps if you’d wait

A much larger portion

Will walk through this gate.

Or if you’d allow me

To show you the way

Of prairie dogs play.

They’re fat from the grasslands,

Quadruple my size.

A meal for your stomach

As big as your eyes.”

“You think me a fool

You mus musculus* beast.

I am up for a snack

And not wanting a feast!

And of course I know well

Where those rodents reside.

Stop looking around.

It is too late to hide!”

“But think of my children;

Please think of my wife.

I beg of you Kitten

Please spare me my….”

*This is the species of a house mouse.
