The Mouse and the Devil For all its life it had been small But fierce and strong, a daring dreamer; So, when the devil red and tall Tried scaring it with big demeanor And spoke of granting it his favor To change its size from small to massive The mouse refused the gracious offer: “My size is what I wish to live with! It gets me what I most require; But strive some more to find my vice And try to guess my soul's desire The same I'll give you as your price Should ever you see through me.” The devil stared in disbelief About a mouse so cheeky. He did not see the hint beneath, What could the tiny creature yearn for? The mouse so cozy, content Smiled brightly and without a care It fell asleep there in his hand. ~ Sphinx ------------ @hydropyro This went out of hand a little. I hope I got the thing with the size/format right.
