Meoooow and Owwwwl

beheaded those
two familiars
who resided high
in the treetop

in their arbor
penthouses, sniffing
nip and licking
mice... such vice

they twice
their nightly flights
ascending from
high-rise prise

Mr. Meoooow
slippery sleek
in between
fences and posts

Honorable Owwwwl
whispery wisps

through chill
of eve and ghosts

a murdered mouse
of fifty mice
was the straw
the camel feared

the plague of
two upon the many
mouse with mouse
would not allow

thus their vow
to catch cat and
owl in dark of
night and wicked hunt

to strew their
bones across the
fields as had been
done of many micely men

thus Mr. Meoooow
found his end
in a giant trap
baited with a dummy

and Honorable Owwwl
left this life
when he gulped up
poison in his tummy

tiny mice cleavers
hacked up the bodies
to fulfill their
vengeful schemes

and the nights grew
silent once again
when cat and owl
were only bad dreams
