MOUSE PLAGUE
The full beam stunned the grass
Exposing their vulnerability
Millions of them
Brown hundreds and thousands
Pulsating fairy bread
Squeaking, scratching, clawing, gnawing
Swimming in a river of fur
Fat bulbous bellied
Full of wheat and worry
The merry snapping sound
Of ten thousand traps
Breaking necks ...
The cats are too full
To eat their whiskets
Wonder Why? |
