Juggernaut

JUGGERNAUT

The diminutive juggernaut
Hacked her way through bad dreams
Tinned salmon and mighty mice
Defeated all the way.

Hello Nathalie, I come to you via the good old black box widget and find that I moved to your beautiful country and you moved to another beautiful country.

Come and say hello

An oxymoron here?
The kitty is precious, as is your daily poetry on all your blogs.
