Mouse and Maple
Naming a cat after a mouse is a bold move:
That small feline will always have to fight,
Stand up for herself at every turn,
The other kitties won’t stop hassling,
But maybe she’ll be like a mouse,
Lover of enclosed spaces, with big ears,
The better to detect can openers in operation,
And the silent predatory footfall of her brother,
Who’s not at all sweet, despite his name.
