Poem Title:
Poem
I felt aggravation when the mouse trap didn’t work well. That darn mouse got the peanut butter then he quickly fell onto a sequence of old soda cans I left under the smelly sink, life can be annoying with mice that run in a quick blink. I have no clue as to why it didn’t work this time, I used it wrong. It shouldn’t be such an operation to kill a mouse that doesn’t belong! Last night I tried to spot it again as it ran under the fridge. I put much more peanut butter this time, more than a smidge. He was on my counter and went from apples to apples real swift, I jumped like I had ants in the pants and fell onto the floor rift! I thought, “there’s a five second rule, shall I still eat that apple?” Maybe wash it down with a cold glass of Peach Snapple. Then this afternoon I was playing Monopoly and heard the mouse, I’m just so sick of this stupid mouse running through my house! I grabbed five huge spoons and tried to hit him, but I missed, I was wondering just what to do next, so I made a long list. 1.) When in trouble make a trap that is big enough to fit. 2.) Make sure it is pure perfection so it will stay in it. 3) I shall connect four posts and cover it with masking tape. 4.) Maybe put chocolate in there or an old breakfast crepe. 5.) Put a bowl of water, because I know mice can’t swim. 6.) Then on to phase 10, I’ll make sure there’s food on the brim. Tonight, once again, I heard the mouse take a risk in the box, I ran over there to make sure that the box properly locks. I heard, “ker plunk!” and I thought, “maybe I got him this time!” I have never been so excited, so utterly happy and sublime. But unfortunately, I must have been hearing things again, this whole time the noise was from my small Japanese Chin! How did my dog get in there, and why didn’t I notice Safari? So I ran over to the box and so compassionately said “sorry”. Why can’t I catch this darn mouse so often in my house, for he’s nothing but a sneaky fella, such a sassy lil’ louse! “It’s 2:00 am, what’s that noise?”, Oh, my…guess who? I finally caught him! It must have all been nothing but taboo! I used these games: 1.) Aggravation 2.) Mouse Trap 3.) Sequence 4.) Clue 5.) Operation 6.) Spot It 7.) Apples to Apples 8.) Ants in the Pants 9.) Five Second Rule 10.) Monopoly 11.) Spoons 12.) Trouble 13.) Perfection 14.) Connect Four 15.) Phase 10 16.) Risk 17.) Ker Plunk 18.) Hearing Things 19.) Sorry 20.) Guess Who 21.) Taboo Anyone Game?
