The End of the Mouse Saga
End of the Mouse Saga By Mary J Williams I set four traps And for two days, no mouse Could I get lucky Are they out of the house? One trap is missing Nowhere to be found I didn’t move it I even looked on the ground Looked in the trash bin Swept the floor clean No mouse trap around It’s a mystery it seems I continued to clean Threw away this and that I threw away rags And even an old matt All the time looking For that missing trap I hear a strange noise A rat a tat tat I pull out the bin holding white clothes the mouse in the trap not dead, goodness knows I ended the life of that little mouse He was too far injured to save I know that’s what a mouse trap is for But with me doing it, I’m not that brave I hope no more are around No longer come into the house This is way too traumatic I feel like a big louse I also don’t want to do What I’ve done for the last three days Cleaning and laundry up to my eyes Please little mice, mend your ways!!!
