Bottom of the Food Chain
If only the mouse
was a little higher upon the food chain
then his tail could have turned and fought
Instead of running
from the cat, and the lion
and the beast of all beasts
and beyond that
the one that only the
brave and pure could defeat.
But he was a mouse
and the mouse cowered with a tiny squeak.
