Sense Sonnet - Pumper

 Cup of Me

The human lady of the house,

Having a ladies' fancy tea,

Always a good time for this mouse

To grab some cheese that there might be.

But in my search I'm aware that

One I love to hate is around.

Here comes the ever mean house cat.

Into a teacup I be bound,

Where I hide not making a peep

Until the cat's prowling is through.

In the meantime I fall asleep,

And dream the cat is a barbeque.

When the lady picks up the cup,

She's sure surprised when I pop up.
