Under the hutch there's flat sheen Floor tile between Me and the end of the run from the cat I love who plays chase as I race and run to the next post the refrigerator and every tidbit
OMG another dog Who has six? On the bed On the couch On the floor In and out the dog door What’s a mouse to do? Sneak into this bedroom Cozy, dark, and OMG Two cats Out the laundry room Into the garage OMG green tree pythons Waiting for a morsel of mouse Think I’ll just stay outside the house. OMG a 500 pound pig Time to pack up And check the neighbor’s digs.
Your unfinished business is an open invitation To the cat dish and everything in the pantry. You’ve had months to put up those baseboards but I’m so glad you didn’t, and I hope You never will.

Sneak into this bedroom
Cozy, dark, and OMG
Two cats
Out the laundry room
Into the garage
OMG green tree pythons
Waiting for a morsel of mouse
Think I’ll just stay outside the house.

Time to pack up
And check the neighbor’s digs.
