*3 mice on the tin roof
though their minds were on food
an impulsive id drove them
they swung to different mood!
I warned myself here no poetry
no story to make out of it
let them have in privacy
a good time bitterly sweet!
3 mice on the tin roof
swayed by their id
I should have stayed aloof
and not watched them in greed!
I told me there’s no poem
in the 3 mice and their id
leave them alone with their game
but my greed paid no heed!
It’s not civil not nice
to act a peeping Tom
see furtively the 3 mice
breaching all courteous norms!
3 mice on the tin roof
to me I had this to say
go your way stay aloof
and not venture on their way!*
