The mouse in the house
He's very smart
We can't catch him
From the very start
When I first saw him
I became like jelly
My whole body shook
I felt so wobbly
He ate the cheese
We put in the trap
With grateful thanks
He dropped his crap!
We put good stew
Used Aussie beef
But still we couldn't
Catch that sneaky thief
Maybe we should
Switch to a sticky pad
That might make him
Really super mad
I hope the food
Will trap that 'rat'
If not he'll become
Too big for the cat!

Eeek! I saw a mouse running behind the TV cupboard recently. But so far have not been able to get him. Maybe I should borrow the neighbour's Fat Cat Wally. But Wally's got such a disdainful supercilious look.

those eager eyes and foolhardy smile on the mouse
is worth chapters of worded characterisation..
thanks for sharing, dear poet
Thank you Mek. I practised drawing that mouse and cheese many times.
Hehe, omg Rozina those final lines were gold! I have this same issue but with cockroaches, I swear why can't we just be left in peace! Hopefully the cat'll do you good!
Thanks Rocky. 1 of my earlier poems was about THAT cat (Fat Cat). I'm not sure about him, he loves sitting on the wall between his house and mine and just watching me with a disdainful look on his face!
This is a problem for nearly every homeowner/renter I swear! Aren't those little things just the worst? I'd borrow the cat. lol
Yes you are right. I was just telling Rocky about Fat Cat Wally. I wrote a poem about him earlier, I think he's no longer a friend!
Great fun write - much enjoyed.
Thank you.
Mice are amazing creatures and can be so hard to capture but can be captured alive and let out far away from the house.

Exceedingly clever. I hope he'll take the bait in the cage soon then I can carry him very far away and release him.
Big fat Wally I would imagine is by his sell by date. You need a Bazooka, as this will not only kill the mouse, but will also make your house open plan.
Ok I'll get one, I'll go to the nearest DIY store later.
