Twas the night AFTER Christmas

Twas the Night after Christmas and all through the house no one was sturring except this dam mouse.
He went banging and booming through the night with ease
he was a real ()*#C@,....,,hm excuse me please.
I heard crunching and munching and flopping and screatching,
he listened not to my mid night preaching.
I heard him in the corner and then heard him here, but then when I looked he was not even there.

He tumbled through the kitchen and I mean he tumbled,
I heard him and looked, but it was I that had stumbled.
This mouse has had his better day, there has got to be a much better way... I say.

Shall I use poison or electric or just scare him to death... but
what if... he ends up dead in my bed?

My bed lays on the floor and I don't think that I oughta
be pesterin things that could end up obligata....

So I thought and I though and I'm still thinking still...
what meathod to use, should I even kill?

Can there be a way to live with a mouse? Right here in my very own house?

I shall ask my sister, that's what I'll do... she's older and wiser.. she'll know what to do.

She said "you not only have one mouse, surely you must know that"..
Why don't you invest in a lovely young cat.

So here I sit with my eyes open wider... this isn't a matter of getting rid of a spider. Now I must think of an animal guest, not for a short time but as a pet, 'cause surely I can't ask it to do something for me, only to ask it to then again leave.

Perhaps I shell find out if a cat likes cold weather... because to get one and keep one and love it forever, I will have to move from the old ogers house... He doesn't like cats... he'll put up with the mouse.

To a dessert where life is very extreme, but I think me and this cat might make a great team..

The ending's funny. :)

I think a revision is in order where you include the chewing of wires!!!!! and maybe the fire marshall !!!!!!!! :)

LOL... I'm thinkin Greta...

But there I was as the fire went out
I'm gonna get you, you rotten mouse

The marshall says that you should have known
they chew through everything..it's Their Home.

Now I'm mad and I'm vicious and really upset
"I am gonna get you you mouse, you'll need more than a vet"
when I am through you will not eat cheese
I'm locking you out and your gonna freeze..

So I went through the cabin and found every hole,
looked up, down and sideways and patched them all.

Ha I said to myself... that ought to do it I think
guess who was looking at me but that little RAT fink.

His eyes were all beedy.. and he was much bigger
"I'm gonna need something with a trigger"
I said.

Hm... I'm going to need much more than a cat
A Colt 44 ... imagine that....

But now I've patched the house over, and it's freezing outside... is this really worth it over his little hide? The pathcing cost money, though it was long over do... but a 44 Magnum what will I do?

Perhaps I can persuade him my mind said to me
I'll walk out with some goodies and he'll follow me
I know what,,,, I will carry some Cheese!

As I walked out the door smelling of Gouda, and swiss I swear I saw what I thought was a kiss, as this rat
threw the door closed and I heard him hiss
good all a good night... especially you miss.

HA HA HA! Thankyou thankyou! You are BRILLIANT!

Your too kind!

Glad you had a good laugh... so did I LOL
