Mouse Chaser

Let’s play personally
Cat and Mouse
tumbling and torturing away.
I’ll prey on you
my perfect partner of complexity.
You be the musing mouse
and I the calculating cat.
We can separate
Like oil and water.
Try to play nice with presents,
give milk to satisfy my needs.
My claws dig in deeper
gauging your skin.
Be my little cat toy
wind-up-mice firing squad.
Shoot off in sections
distracting the fast feline.
Starry eyed at my strength
you’ll crumble, crying “CAT!”
Maybe next time, mouse.
