Midnight Train

Mad mouse cavorts

on midnight train

in ecstasy ramble

dancing feet

light of full moon.

He embraces cheese morsels

scattered on floor

by messy mortals

stuffing yawning mouths.

Mouse bares teeth

at those who try

to encase him

in little metal

torture devices.

He snatches cheese

and leaves the trap

ensnaring plump

sausage fingers

of humans unaware

Sacrificial alter

to their despair.

Whiskers wink as

mouse roars again

leaving

on midnight train.
