Cat's Paw

A scrap of new poetry for children.

The little mouse peeped out of his hole,

Peeped out of his hole to see

Whether the cats were on patrol,

Whether ’twas safe for he.

 

The little mouse, he came from his hole,

He darted out so bold;

A swat of the paw he never saw,

And so his story was told.

Author's Note

A new rhyme for kids. Initial reactions appreciated.

Cute! I loved it ^.^ This sounds like it would go great in an illustrated children's book.

Your cats did it! lol
This was just cute.

Sweet and cute, then the violent end--just like the nursery rhymes of old. (Chopped off their tales with a carving knife, etc) I like it and believe the little ones will, too. Very nice work.

Thanks, Samuel! The nursery rhymes of old were exactly what I was going for. Also, it was based on something my cats did the night before. Poor little mouse! The real one saw the paw, over and over, as the cats played with the "squeaky toy."
