I'm their pet mouse
Under the house
I want to share
Christmas up there
Looking inside
I'd better hide
I see a cat
Won't do at that
The cat sees me
But I don't flee
Cause he looks pleased
Tensions are eased
Door open wide
I step inside
Cat shakes my hand
I understand
Christmas is why
I do not die
Love in all hearts
A new day starts
In a list

a good smiling poem here showing how peace can be made between enemies at certain times, so if at certain times why not all times
-
A present ...
that shared lightly and in fun and yet, preciously! Very cute and imaginative ... joy
-
Great for gold. A universal message told with an unusual sense of the concrete, of image and imagination, of humor, and of irony. Everything about the poem works well. Delightful to read.

oh this one was so sweet my mother's cat used to find a mouse outside and lay on top of the poor thing would not eat it or play with it just suffocate it

Yay! I love this, it's so cute and the mouse gets Christmas love too! This is what I call a smile poem.
Love,

Cute, I love it...it captures the essence of the holiday and that is giving, sharing, kindness...and it's done in such a lighthearted way, a way that children could learn from!

This is humour. A cat and a mouse shaking hands (? lol...), because it is Christmas, a time of peace and friendship. It brought a smile to my face.
Ecrivain calls this remarkably unrealistic, but I wonder... Are people not always fighting like cats and mice? Oh well... mice or dogs, what's the difference?
Hahahaha.

I'm always leery ...
of anything labeled "precious", but I will say that it's a cute poem, if remarkably unrealistic.
Merry Xmas.

Careful mouse, the reason you are so eagerly received may be because you are Christmas dinner!
