A Mouse in The house!

 

Yipes! A mouse in the house Oh! what a surprise! It ran under the sofa I saw it with my own eyes. Then it darted behind the TV! What was I to do? Sitting at my computer being oh so busy. that mouse started nibbling at my shoe. EEEKKS!! I screamed, you Lil' Rat! jumping up on my chair. I'll have to call in Tom the Cat. Then see what you dare. Well don't Ya kno, He stared me down with his beady eyes as big as you please. Then he went to town started eating all my cheese! Hey! you Lil' squirt, what do you think you're doing? and I jumped off the chair I chased him with a broom, 'Twas only fair. but the critter kept on chewing. Into the bathroom he ran and hopped into the tub. Then to the kitchen garbage can and finally back to the living room rug   Well, I gotta tell Ya. I was pooped! my energies had been spent. I still ain't caught that mouse in the house. I wonder where he went? It's been a week and I've not seen hide nor hair of him. All I know is if I do, I wonder who will win?

This one reminds me of a childhood memory of mine. Where we got out the vacuum cleaner to chase down the mouse. Loved your poem. Nice rhyme!

Lol, this is a delightful story-poem! My step dad actually had that happen, a mouse nibbled his toe!

Laughing out loud. this is so funny. Mouse nibbling on your shoe. I think I would have screamed too. This poem has humor to it and I love that it made me laugh.

Fran this is so much fun to read, I love it! The childrens mags I look into are always looking for poetry like this for filler, it would be perfect!

[Mary]

very nice, good imagery and makes you sypathize with the character!

[Jimmy Greenie]

ha. like it. reminds me a little of tom and jerry, frantically chasing it as it runs round the house causing havoc. This is a great poem. Loved it

[Yes]

I like it. I also like how you reference Tom the Cat, because I've never seen a cartoon in which Tom actually catches Jerry.

[Ravenskald]
