Poem
Where’s the tinsel that made the tree look cold
have not seen the popcorn that was hung so old
those huge colorful bulbs always got into a snag
 I did the tree back then and I just had to brag.

It was an adventure to go find a evergreen in the forest
the fresh scent would fill the house and underneath would  be Morris
he loved to bat the decorations and take some down
whenever I heard  something break I knew he was around.

the red velvet apron dressed up the tree even more
Christmas morn there were presents galore
but who  should appear amongst the branches to see
 it was Morris who wanted to climb  the tree.

 Morris what you doing in there?
he replied “ a mouse goes up the clock  somewhere”
“I felt he would also climb up this tree”
“when he gets to the top there’ll be me”.

No you can’t wait in the tree for a mouse
No creature will be stirring in this house
You need to get down before Santa comes around
he won’t  leave you gifts  only just a  frown.

“But  I will be napping and won’t make a peep”
how will you  see a mouse in your sleep
“I’ll set a trap before my nap 
“he’ll be caught up in the strap”

Morris.. I will not have you in my tree tonight
setting a trap is not very bright
this may disturb the decorations that I placed
all will fall from the mouse you had chased.

“what if I just  sit by the fire with eyes shut ’?
“then I won’t rattle the chestnuts”
“when I see the mouse caught I will pull the strap”
 then go back to my catnap”

okay that sounds fair enough and no harm done
just don’t be noisy when he’s on the run
“ I won’t disturb those sleeping in the house”
“don’t worry   I’ll be quiet as a mouse”

The night was quiet all thru the house
Morris  was waiting to catch that louse,
soot was falling down the chimney flue
what should appear was a big black  shoe.

Ol’ Nick arrived just before one
that was the beginning of the Xmas eve fun
he unloaded his sack in front of  the tree
didn’t  noticed the trap for the mouse’s spree.

As he was turning to get back up the stack
all hell broke loose from the sound of a crack
the mouse got caught and shook to get loose
but the battle was over being caught in a noose.

it scared Ol’Nick who fell against the wall
hung on to the branches  pulling tree and all
there rose such a clatter it woke up the house
Morris  didn’t stir and not even the mouse.

You’ve been on a wild rampage; just look what you’ve done
the tree is demolished and Ol’ Nick is down on his bun
I expect an explanation if you please
Morris stared with ears perked up “ Hmmm.  must of been the cheese”      
     ,,,,,,, and to all a good night…Meow
