Mouse


Super Cutie wood-mouse

lived by the garden pond.

A small hole gap in the wall

led into compact accommodation

affording everything he wanted 

though very different 

from his childhood home

in the high wall 

at the very top 

of the garden.


There he had learned the skills

he would need as an adult,

especially

that a couple of squeaks

brought forth food,

real food,

bread and cereal,

even cake on a birthday.


So he was not tempted to try

the potentially gut wrenching

daffodil bulbs

favoured by

his wild and unruly cousins.


He never found love though,

the wild ones got the girls!

So, smart and steady

he lived solo

and then

one day

was 

gone.
