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