The Mouse

Inside my castle there are

Knights to defend

And Knights to offend

Swords to slay

And shields to block.


There are horses

With metal armour

Men riding them with 

Golden, sharp swords


And my castle stands 

Above the mountain,

That no man can break

My walls,

No army can dig to me 


My castle touches the blue sky,

No hook can fly for

my walls, that they will never

reach the sky


But one day

I saw mouse

She was in search,

Search of her other part

That died in a struggle 

Under the mountain


His blood was tasted 

By my golden dagger

With a glancing Ruby 

On the tip


She found all the holes

In my walls

She float above the

Blue sky


My horses are 

Afraid of mice: they ran

My knight ran behind the mice

It kept hiding in the

Holes

The swords broke

With a cling,

The shields had no use


But one small

Fishnet was worthy

And then my golden 

Dagger with a ruby on the 

Tip; she smiled


Suddenly there was nothing

Then it begun

It begun from the back of my head

And into my forehead

Everything became dark

And she was still

Smiling.
