Analysis of Conflicting Games

JESUS BETANCOURT 1955 (New York)



Alone in my pied-á-terre
Upset by a game of cat and mouse
As I was preparing for a game of solitaire
They were the only other company in the house

Found scattered peg board and cards on my table
But I don't remember leaving them there
Have to blame my prodigious feline named Miracle
Mouse must've disrupted her game of solitaire
