The farmer in the dell>>>uh/I'm uncomfortable dog...

and now I find myself
beneath then between more so betwixted
my enemy's lair
sweat dripping
my confidence buddy's up and falls with it
and now I find myself
beyond consciousness
into moonless midnights
but yet and still the wolf howls
and I realize
I'm still caught up
in the same maze
I had been placed
during my past life as Lucky the mouse
hunger being my foe
the cheese smells so good
yet it insists on standing alone
or was that me?
as I consider being that rat again
never one to consort or contend with feline
I choose to give up my Lucky days
and four legged walking through this earth
I choose to stand up
not againsts barking foes
or searching for gourmet friends
but to start running
maybe jog or really just speed walk
on my own path
ignorant of mazes and rat races and funny smelling places*

(*strange experience today...had to be there)
