mice and men

“The best laid plans of mice and men”
Steinbeck said, “often go awry”.

Meek, I may be,
but mouse, not me,
yet still, I squeak along.

Small in stature,
I, little guy,
in this big old world,
still I try.

I try for naught,
sometimes it seems,
but keep on plugging away,
throughout each day to day.

So, will I win in the end,
this I just don't know,
but finishing the race,
is winning to me,
even in last place.

After all, last place
is still a place.
