Missing mice

 I miss the mice I murdered,

Now my flat feels flat and

The silence makes me feel alone.

No more scurrying in dark corners,

I’m the only one at home.

But I am the sole oligarch here,

I had to protect my realm,

If you shit amidst my shopping

Death will be your doom.

You tried to eat my porridge oats

So I laid poison pills for your rodent throats

You ate them and you died.

I won’t lie I never cried.

But the silence makes me feel alone.
