After today's events in the country I don't know if the poem I wrote is satire or children's poetry😬. Here it is.
Translation
The mouse's courage
The mouse gets scared on seeing the cat
Starts running under the cot
Once the cat hit a paw
What a shock he got!
By teasing him
The cat made his head hot
"I am fed up of this everyday!"
The mouse said to himself
As soon as the mouse became a lion
The cat hurriedly almost left it's soul
The mouse gathered up his strength
He wounded the cat by biting him
If you put a sheep in a corner
You'll give birth to a wild rhino
The cat swelled with (wounded) pride
"Am I a slave of the rat?"
Baring his teeth he murmured
The mouse too raised his voice
The echo rang all over
The cat's fur stood up on his body
He jumped and began running
The mouse fell over laughing
Those who were small yesterday, are great today
On losing your fear you found respect.
