The cat and the mouse game
I played with my friends
on the sprawling grounds of our school
unusually strikes me fast.
Once I played the mouse
and a strong girl the cat
over and over I went in circles
between the rows, beneath the chain
she came charging behind.
I lost my spirit, slowed down
knew that would be the end
oh! no, she hit on a stone
and broke her leg.
I came out free.
A game of energy and will
shows your strength and skill
over and above lies one more
being one of luck all so vital
determines the victory and defeat.
