The Unfavourable Turn

Revisiting the day I turned ten 

The day I thought my inner lioness sprang out of her den. 

But then, I invited my chums to house,

They brought for me a creepy mouse! 

Looking at it, my smile turned into a frown.

Before I could speak, the awful mouse leapt on my crown. 

Terror stricken, I screamed in panic

And knocked down my mom's treasured pot of ceramic! 

Gripped in fear, biting my nails, I turned around; 

Behind me my gruesome mom I found! 

A broomstick she with her had brought.

Thank God! This time It wasn't me but the mouse who was caught.
