The Warning...

The Warning… by Tosin Kesington

The Cat and the Mouse
Live in the same house
The cat lays alert and quiet
Waiting to make the mouse a diet
The mouse foolishly runs around
Oblivious of what Omen  looms around.

The mother mouse warns her own
The house is never theirs alone
Never to run with abandoned freedom
Hence, end like Mousie Jack and Tom
Who didn’t  think it twice

Dropped guard and ran amok
With tails mucked under a rock
Yes, their tales of woes
And follies made  their fame
A warning it also became to those
Who despise to live a life of shame

For a snack  the mouse will be
To the patient feline for free
Or simply thrown away as crap
for lust of cheese soaked in trap
For all saw not a mystery
His foolish path ending in misery


Alas! blessed is the shrewd mouse
Who threads carefully
Knowing  many are watching earnestly
To get him ensnared in the house
For unspoken laws must not be broken
Else, he becomes nothing but a token
