Mice in the piano

Mice in the piano

A Poem by Jon Roggie

A fellow writer,
 and I am talking about you Margie,
mentioned something.

Apparently,
 I keep my writes short.

I also tend to turn seemingly random moments into a cognitive stream.

Fancy way of saying I make a story out of what doesn't seem to be a story.

So,
  just so everybody knows,
    this is Margie's fault.

The keys played themselves.
  Echoing throughout the house.
Some would think of a haunting,
 but it was a bit more mundane.
Tiny invaders,
  attempting to find a new home.
Sadly,
 the keys are now quiet,
and the piano sits silent.

I hate to say the mice could play better than me.

I couldn't resist. I felt she deserved a laugh!
You titled this piece so imaginatively, you must’ve known I couldn’t resist clicking on it. I have no idea how I ended up to blame for all this, since I’m an aficionada of frogs & lizards, but not mice. Sometimes we end up nose-to-nose with one of these little invaders & it’s hard to hate ‘em when their bulbous eyes are so cute & earnest! You captured this tug-of-war between being invaded & being invited to play. I feel honored to find my name in your poem with great surprise! (((HUGS))) Fondly, Margie

The thing is looking at the trails going down to the river. I am in no kind of shape for that!
