This is nice poetry. It has wit and intelligence. The mouse starts with a riddle. This is one way to trick a predator. The owl, the fox and the farmer follow suit. The poetry is written with good design. It is different and amusing. The riddle is never answered and the people wanting to feed on others go hungry. It shows how we all want to be the master of others, but we end up with nothing. A circle of riddles is caused and it makes each animal or man to scurry off. It shows how bad the animal kingdom is and how we need to be smart to stay alive.
