Cat and mouse…

Within a garden somewhere out there,

Butterflies were dancing free from care.

Thousands of flowers loving the dance,

Love, the lovers, and loving romance.

A lot of butterflies full of lust,

Drinking and dancing in love they trust.

Daffodil pitchers filled with the wine,

Drinking that wine was wholly divine.

Roses and jasmines fully bloomed,

Enchanted aromas sweetly perfumed.

From its hiding a devious mouse,

Saw the butterflies right from his house.

He ran to the garden, chased the fly,             

Grabbed him tightly and bit him to die.

Ate him like candy, tenderly sweet,

The smell of jasmines made it complete.

Loved his food and loving its taste,

The mouse was happy nothing got waste.

Until he saw a ghostly shape,

Scary giant, he couldn’t escape. 

There was a cat with a smiley face,

growled and meowed and started the chase.

Running like the wind, he didn’t give in,

Hunting for food is never a sin.

He grabbed the mouse in a playful way,

ate him as a whole, then rested all day.

The mouse tasted like jasmine and rose,

The flavor of butterflies joined with those.

The cat was happy and licked his paws,

He adored his power sharpened his claws.

Until the next day, there was a dog,

With a big fuzzy tail, fat like a hog.

Ugly and old, he ran after cat,

Hunted the cat and ate him like rat.

The dog was old, and his fate foretold,

He died in winter when air was cold.

He died then buried, turned to dust,

Nothing can escape from time and rust.

The months have passed and years gone by,

What else can we do except comply?

Living and dying is part of life.

Life and death are in constant strife. 

The flesh of the dog made flowers grew,

Butterflies came with their lives renew.

Roses and jasmines grew one more time.

Butterflies dancing, dancing in rhyme

Another mouse and another cat,

The playful cat that ate up the rat.

Another dog and another feast,

After a while, the death chose the beast.

Life is a circle, circle-like a chain.

Everything goes and comes back again.

There will be death for me, and you,

Then roses and jasmine’s lives renew.
