Who needs a robin?

An American-style haiku (5-7-5) inspired by Goomp's report of his adored pussycat's first big kill of the year:

Lucie left a mouse
On the steps in the garage.
Who needs a robin?

Gump imails:

Great hunting in such weather. [The mouse] probably lived in the wood pile. Sign of spring?

We were hit with a blustery, drifting snowstorm last night, with below-normal temps and wind chill today. Logan Airport was even closed down for six hours. But the sun's getting higher in the southern sky every day -- same declination now as early October -- and will make short work of the snowfall in the next couple of days. There may still be a few late-winter storms ahead, but it's only a matter of time now till the red, red robin comes bob, bob bobbin' along.

Lucie is thrilled at National coverage of her first kill of the year. She says that now she understands how pols and other celebrities get their kicks.
