What a Ruckus!

There I was, snoozing on the JVC, when I heard a ruckus. I'm used to my siblings being rambunctious, but this was different... after all, none of them squeak, and I kept hearing "squeak, squeak, squeak!"

So I roused myself from slumber and my dreams of Mickey to see what was going on.



My little brother MaoMao had caught a mouse and had taken it to the bathroom, but by the time I got down to assist with the endeavor, MaoMao had run into the kitchen with the mouse, and Dad got it away from him shortly thereafter and put it outside.

You can read MaoMao's account of the hunt here. He was so proud of himself!

So I congratulated my brother on his hunting prowess then slipped back into sweet dreams of Mickey and contemplations of my next poem-to-be.



I think Mickey will like the Pantoum as a poetry form! It is a form characterized by "dreamy and enchanting repetitions." Sounds like just my thing, *purrrrrrrr.*

I just read the story from Mao Mao. He is a good hunter!
You live on the countryside? Me too! In Germany I lived in the second biggest city, here in Sweden it's just fields around. I think my humans find that a bit boring, but it's close to the sea, too. They both love the sea. I like my green garden! In the city I just had a balkony to sit on and watch the world around me.

You're so cool, Marilyn, to let your siblings have the mousie and all the glory.

Huggs and purrs to my friend.

How drrreadful that you didn't get to play with the little mousie in the kitchen. Sometimes beans just don't underrrstand.
