Gopher Menace
From my kitchen window I saw
A mound that I did not recall
It appeared out of thin air
There amongst the others there
I stepped outside to better see
The latest one to aggravate me
And the mound was stories high
And seemed to reach into the sky
I hoped the dogs would prevail
And catch the menace that assailed
But found that the foe was mighty
And getting help from God almighty
I bought two traps and said a prayer
Hoping I would catch them there
But found there were tricky ones
With my traps each been sprung
And then there came the day
When a dog caught a little prey
And I caught in a trap
One of several when looking back
