We've had bush rats in the walls of the house, Keri, and 'lived' with them despite the rustlings, content that they were contained. Until my brother-in-law came to stay, and reading in the living room late one night, watched a rat saunter in and eye him up. After that, we got the rat catcher in. Thanks for the heads up on the dormouse, Keri, but the poem still stands I think as a paean to a small frightened creature and its mortality, and our role in that as humans, and our own fear and our own mortality....Mary McCallumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07482261103185786111noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-688274121226963086.post-15496612085765669852010-03-27T21:48:52.374+13:002010-03-27T21:48:52.374+13:00Mice schmice- rats invading are where you have pro...Mice schmice- rats invading are where you have problems.
