Twas some months after Christmas
And all through the house
The traps were all baited
Awaiting the mouse.
These traps were all filled
With mousie delights
Peanut butter, bacon
All foods they would bite.
Each evening the husband
completed his rounds
And came back to report
No animal found.
The scurring of mouses
Departed the rooms
And few little poopies
Were found with the brooms.
The husband who worried
About mouses pain
Completely and totally
Wanted their bane.
He wanted and hoped
That the trap and its snack
Would catch our dear mousie
And snap its back.
I have come to believe
Our mice did depart
But not from a trap
From disease of the heart.
They ate and they ate
And they exercised not
Alas modern science
Predicted heart rot.
