"Trailside Ecology Lesson" 

A Poem by Roy Beckemeyer

                                                                                                            

Mouse hair and bone found in a weasel scat
tell us a story (a sad one at that):
mice are a staple;
they fill their sad niche
like bread on the table,
like soup and sandwich.
