Epic Saga Of The Cat & The Mouse – Part Six

Que sera sera

What will be will be.

When his bubble is burst

His rage burns the worst,

& The mouse fires back

I don’t give a damn!

 I Am who I Am

Have been saying so long

Not a gopher or a pawn

Not a thing ~ Or an it

That chomps at the bit.

It is you who attacks

So get off my back!

The tawdry fat cat

Slowly made his bed

Led by a big head,

On the sly with the lyins

& Got the dogs barking

Up all the wrong trees.

O’ the trouble it brings,

The cards he kept stacking

& The mouse was aware –

Though he had many a scare

That the salt of the earth

Was his backing...
