Creeping
                            along the rail.....
The cat
                           spies a mouse.
  Eyes.....
                                        darting this way and that,
     Not sure
                                 which path to take.
                                       
                      To the roadside...
                          to the fields?
                                       
                     Around the cat...
                                        hoping to avoid its' claws.

                                     Or, merrily down the rail
                                       till the next train rumble

                                      Forces another decision.

                                     The Cat..............pounces!
