A Mouse Story

These are two stories I had started to write many years ago.  This is the sort of writing I had wanted to do when I moved here.  It is the sort of writing I want to do with my cat stories that I have tried to work on and develop.

 How do I get to have my life back where other people’s wants for my life – leave?

 

There once was a mouse

with velveteen fur, and whiskers and toes of white.

He was grey from his ears

right down to his tail

and his belly was full

from the treats he had stole.

His toes would curl

with the sound of a girl

who would giggle with glee at his sight.

She would hold and caress him

but never address him

as a feline, a cat, or a kitten.

He was far too mature

to care or be cured

of knowing that he was a mouse.

“Mouse,” she would say.

“Where have you been today?  In the field over the way?  Or down by the stream?

““““““““““““““““““““““““““““““““““““““““““““““““““““““““““““““

There once was a mouse

who lived in a house

who loved to play with lizards.

He would frolic and play

then sleep all the day.
