Tinker is a tiny make believe mouse

She dwells in the cabinet at Joann’s cottage

Peaks out a hole at things in the house

Sees flowers and teapots and crumbs she can forage

Collects thread and snippets of ribbon and rousts

Herself to venture out a bit, an explorer

She nestles inside the covers of quilts

Quiet as a mini interloper scouting around

‘Til time to climb to her own corner cupboard

Where she hovers over treasures she has found.  3.22.22

Tinker’s cabinet at Joann’s cottage.
