Tippity Tippity
Tap Tap Tap
I don’t know what it is
But it has woke me up
2 AM running across
The hardwood floor
The sound of little toes
Clickity clack
Clickity clack
Chit chit chit
I hear a gnawing in
Dresser drawer
Little teeth chewing
Their way through
The wood to make a
Nest in my underwear
I can stand it no more
I get up to catch
My demon foe
When what should
My eyes behold
But a multicolored
Patchwork mouse
Living inside my
Lacey unmentionables.

A Dart at Dusk
Seconds ago, the sullen sun set on the two of us… my exuberant furry companion and me. A fresh breeze embraces us, delivering welcome relief from the day’s oppressive heat. His typical stumbling and staggering along — apace with a sloth — has turned into trip-trapping, high-stepping, almost skipping along.
