Amy Elizabeth Eli

Amy Elizabeth Eli was a mouse in a house
With dark silky fur
And a belly white as snow
Her belly was round and her sides were fat
She was one hell of a mouse
And a mother at that
Nine little pups, I counted them all that mournful morning
The morning she died
The morning she left her babies behind
I'm sure it was my fault
She left her cage
I wouldn't have cried
If I had just given her, her treat the night before
Nine little babies were a handful I thought was three
Starving to feed them she escaped with ease
I'm sorry my Amy
I'll remember the white tiffs behind your ears forever
And your gentle little trot
The way you played with my cat
Everything and anything you did was sweet
I'm sorry you went and five of your pups, I hope you don't see the four for a while yet....

Just trying to see if I can get over an accident with a pet mouse I tried saving yet got her killed, five of her babies died before I could get to a surrogate mom...four survived and as far as I know are still alive...
