MORTIMER

Mortimer the mouse and a dandelion clock.

 

DIARY OF A FIELD MOUSE

Today I was caught by the cat. 

A boy rescued me from her jaws. 

A girl sang as she cradled me between warm fingers.

I found myself placed amongst tall grasses.  

I shall spend the night here.  

 

Holding Mortimer the mouse.
Mortimer and dandelion.
Sweet little wild mouse.
Releasing a small wild mouse.
I think mice are rather nice.
