DMC: "The Tiny Wish" by Linda Baie

The Tiny Wish

It would be nice, yet need advice
to fabricate a treehouse.
My mother says I am not fit
‘cause I’m a tiny house mouse.

The leafy green would be my scene
inside a little tree.
Please why can’t I be living there?
With Mom, I disagree.

I would create a minimum
of fuss in my construction,
only desire a tool or two
plus labor for production.

I found a perfect cheese box
that smells of camembert,
to formulate this upstairs home -
favored fragrance in the air.

I’m looking for a willow tree 
Constructing there is best.
The tree will offer privacy.
I’ll love my little nest.

I will appreciate the help
to lessen Mom’s concern.
