Of Mice And Men, Updated

OF MICE AND MEN, UPDATED

Running amok,

without mukluks,

trying to outrun

a rabid woodchuck.

Down on my luck,

mired in mud and muck,

having lost my gun,

finally unstuck.

Nearing my truck,

while chased by a buck,

nature knew it won,

cried the flock of ducks.

Author's Note

I wrote this silly thing in about ten minutes while listening to opera on K-USC and reading and responding to posts on Facebook. Yes, I know this sucks, but at least sucks rhymes with buck, amok, truck, etc. This poem was actually inspired by a friend's post where she quoted the famous line 'The best laid schemes of mice and men often go askew.
