Tumultus Mus Musculus (44-Word Quadrille)
The mice throw a rumpus —
wearing tiny top hats,
and drinking whiskey from thimbles.
They’re spinning a walnut,
and waltzing on tables.
But —
are those cat’s eyes
gleaming like diamonds
through keyholes?
Dance on, my darlings.
Dawn wants to steal your shoes.
