    The One that Got Away (Revision)

    The One that Got Away


    Suddenly I jumped from my bed, it has been a while since I was so nimble.
    But there it was, the wee hours before dawn, and my dreams were
    leading me on.
    I Felt like I needed my head examined, with the reaction that kept me 
    On my toes, sometimes that's how my dreams go.

    So I fixed a cup of hot mint tea and grabbed my tablet while my thoughts
    Ran free. In the corner of my eye was my cat looking sly!
    Not knowing the reason why I rose to check her tracks two mice were 
    On the floor, they were not moving anymore, so I picked them up one by one,
    Wrapped them up 'til I thought my work was done. 

    I placed the mice in a box, but what's this? One jumped up and ran like greased
    lightning, it was a little bit frightening!  Wonders of my days can sometimes be
    awesome when a tiny mouse knows how to play possum.
    So I looked at my cat, "What can I say, this is the story of the one that got away!"
