Papa above!

Papa above!
Regard a Mouse
O'erpowered by the Cat!
Reserve within thy kingdom
A "Mansion" for the Rat!

Snug in seraphic Cupboards
To nibble all the day
While unsuspecting Cycles
Wheel solemnly away!

    Wow, what a unique perspective on the relationship between predators and prey in nature. The mention of a snug heavenly home for the mouse adds such a sweet and whimsical touch.

      Such a peculiar take on heaven's hierarchy!
