the wood mouse pulls his
dried red onion peel blankets
over his slim back
settled and warm in
his cosy borrower bed
whisker twitch – goodnight!
Two Haikus squished together today.
Our cat Katie had brought in a mouse, got bored and let it go. She’s so fickle, like an Roman Emperor, she normally revels in bloodshed, but she just gave up on this one. No idea how long it was living behind the chest under the stairs, but it seemed to be building an extension. The bed was lovely. Lots of onion peels. Looked quite cosy. We tried to catch it (to let it go) but it escaped into the bathroom and we think it’s squeezed into a tiny gap under the bath.
There’s only one thing for it, non-lethal traps! Filled with peanut butter!
