You were but inches away
and somehow still ran
this is not my fault,
you know I had a plan.
You would have been mine.
It was only a matter of time,
but you must be in cahoots
with those people, what a crime!
Just as I was about to pounce
and catch myself a mouse
there came the sound of a bag
that filled the whole house
and so I left you behind
just inches from my feet.
Why eat a mouse,
when you can eat a treat?
