No room for error here
One strike is all I have
The lineup arrives
Mice approach from their mounds
I uncoil from my dugout
Silently awaiting a meal
Strike!
They balk at my body
Scored with pitch-black diamonds
Alas, they are too wound-up
I slump back
No catch for me
My plate empty
Palate devoid of fur-balls
Time for my battered body to rest
