When I was wee, was mouses three, Herman, Melvin and Joe. Now, there is only one. Have you heard the stories?

Question

*****

LEGENDS OF THE HOLE

Little Joe,

pussycat foe,

legendary mouse of

stories old,

He ran, mostly quicker,

past mousetrap and fish-l****r,

Bringing cheese to please,

so the story goes…

Brave and gray,

tail swayed,

Biscuit waiting

for the taking,

Whiskers twitching,

noses itching,

Him and cat,

in battle pitching,

Through the night,

a gruesome fright,

Mouse and louse,

all through the house,

But, with sun,

when day’s begun,

a cheer rings out,

It’s Joe has won!

That was great!

I am loving my ***** cat stories.

WELL DONE!

Cheers : )

The only three mice - I've ever heard of - were blind. Loved Joe - great presentation of a mouseful hero personality.  Glad he won. Question: was "fish-l****r" a cat?? Great description (and name) ♥

Answer 7

Hurrah for Joe!

This morning, as with eyes half closed,

I felt a softness on my toes

A present from my cat, so sweet!

Half a pigeon at my feet.

Answer 8

Good to see you again!  I've largely moved on to another site with othe poets, but have missed the old gang!  Hardly any are on!  I'll have to post one of my current poems for your consideration.  I'm glad Joe won!  Like the rhymed couplets/

Answer 9

I was rooting for Joe all along!
