Gopher Menace

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

    A fine write w c. Don't fancy a bite from that gopher's teeth. Is it a mole?

      It looks ferocious, no?! It's similar to a mole but is different. The gopher builds mounds on the ground whereas the mole tunnels just below the surface.
