ILLUSTRATION FRIDAY ~ NEIGHBOR



While elegant neighbors sip their tea
Something quite small is bothering me
And if I decide that I should speak up
Would Mrs. Matthews just drop her cup

Should I nudge her a bit gently
Or stare quite intently

Will her saucer just clatter
Or won't it much matter
If she spies that wee mouse
And runs back to her house

Great stuff Ginger- your art seems always optimistic and heartwarming (well, except for the dog and cat about to get into it)

If I were the neighbor and saw the mouse, I'd be like "Wow, cool!" LOL I love critters.
