A Mouse's Telescope by D-Tail
"A Mouse's Telescope"
If you leave a mouse a telescope,
I'm sure he'll look through it.
If you leave that scope upon a hill,
I'm sure that's where he'll sit.
If you leave it there in dark of night,
I'm sure he'll try to find a light
that's round and bright and made of Brie,
then gaze upon it happily
while wond'ring how to shake it down
and share it with his friends in town
because, well that's what mice would do.
If I were one, I'd do that too.
But I'm sure if he cannot displace
that roundish piece of cheese from space,
he'll set his little eyes upon
the specks of sparkling Parmesan
that permeate the purple night:
though small, they're just as good a light.
I believe this poem to be one of my very best, as it possess the ideal whimsy that I strive to imbue in my children's poetry--which happens to be my strongest and possibly favorite poetic genre! =)
This poem was heavily inspired by Jazzycat's Stargazer, the wonderful piece of art which serves as the cover art for this poem.

I hope that you all enjoy this poem! I plan to post more soon, but I just wanted to start off on my "best" foot! :D

Haha, I've actually received that particular comment a lot, Inu! What's funny is that "If you give a mouse a cookie" didn't even cross my mind while writing this! Nonetheless, I'm happy that you enjoyed my poem. =D

well most people pull inspiration from things without knowing it, this could have been a little bit from that (if you've red the story) if not then, well your awesome lol
