It’s me. The eponymous Moose
The To a Mouse that, were I in your hoose,
A bit o dust ablow the bed, thon dodd o’ oose
That, quick, turns tail,
Is – eek! – a living creature on the loose,
Wad gar you wail…—Liz Lochhead, “From a Mouse” – a poetic response to Robert Burns, published in FUGITIVE COLOURS (Birlinn 2016)

I’m truly sorry Man’s dominion
Has broken Nature’s social union,
An’ justifies that ill opinion,
Which makes thee startle,
At me, thy poor, earth-born companion,
An’ fellow-mortal!—Robert Burns, “To a Mouse, On turning her up in her Nest, with the Plough, November 1785”
