The Hunter
Cat---   Laying low,
            Moving slow,
           The killer, the spy.

Mouse-- Extremely still,
            Waiting for kill,
            Thinking he's going to die.

Cat---    Heart beating slow,
             Eyes all aglow,
             Licking his chops for thought.

Mouse--  Heart beating fast,
             Will my life last?
             I'm dinner if I am caught.

Claws strike his head
Fur turning red
Mouse scared out of his mind.
Jaws around mid
Whole body is hid
This is how a cat dines.

Bones cracking and breaking...

Crunch crunch

Brain and guts spurting...

Munch munch
