Deathly green mice, blue mice, too,
evil mice up to no good
camouflaged in hues.
Fiendish mice lacking a lair
lurking in the darkest places,
amassing on the stairs.
Mice killed dead each night
revive in stillness
and haunt at first light.
Demonic mice don’t remain dead
after losing hair and tails,
and after losing their heads.
Zombie mice, attacking at a motionless scamper
would surely inflict death
if not for the feline hunter.
