the hopes and dreams of a cowardly little mouse.

[Guest guest]

the beggar mouse sits in his hovel hole..

 

concealed as is his cowardly needful way.

 

the creepy little rodent is ever watchful..

 

for any word dropped by his Master.

 

oh how this wretched little rat wishes he could befriend his Lord!

 

perhaps then more free cheese would be thrown his way.

 

it almost kills him that he is ignored.

 

and worse yet he's laughed at by the One he sees as Mighty.

 

a lonely life he lives this poor rat.

 

he dreams he has dollars and sense and something to offer.

 

what a sad-sack lowlife!

 

look here then..

 

our little mousy wet rat shivers in a thrill again!

 

for he sees once again new words..

 

by He of Whom his need to Heed and Obey overwhelms his sorry self.

 

he pussyfoots in a chickenhearted manner..

 

to the mouse on his borrowed computer..

 

hoping beyond hope to attract the attention..

 

of the One he so desperately needs and begs from.

 

realizing that even though his heart it breaks..

 

the best he can hope for..

 

is to be stepped on again and again and again.

 

with no more free cheese in sight.

 

it almost sounds tragic.

 

until you realize that that's why they call mice brainless.

 

particularly a really dumb one who thinks himself a poet.

 

and in this way..

 

better than a mousetrap..

 

the Lord of the Manor draws out the pest..

 

by simply calling him without name.

 

he goes by several different names anyway.

 

much to afraid of life to acknowledge who and what he truly is.

 

of course..if you were he..

 

you'd see why.
