Been a Mouse

Men are like mice,
smart and sneaky.
Trying to get to the cheese,
just like George and Lennie.
That small
piece of land,
their only way out.
Where they
can be happy,
where Lennie
can pet
all those animals,
but it is hard
when you have
a cat right outside
where that piece
of cheese is.
Both
Curley and his wife.
Also smart,
and have the power
to find those mice
and eat them up.
Mice can be smarter,
or they can be
an easy bate.
Be careful,
George,
Lennie.
