A Mouse Crossed My Path

A tiny mouse tip-toed cross my path Arose immediately my wrath Set for him, a pungent mousetrap Filled with muenster cheese Tingling all over, anticipating a bloodbath I cringed at myself, a bona fide psychopath Gloating over the creature's perceived unease How dare he forget to say "Please?"

He was a smart one to tiptoe; most of mine skate by on power rollerblades.

Gershon, Funny poem tickled. Gotta be enticed by a good muenster to find better etiquette, at least until done in. -Richard

G'day Gershon … one little mouse and the household goes to war. I love the way these little guys frighten the life out of even bikies. Now a snake is a different matter - thanks Gershon - Lindsay

Ha, ha! I have a power-lifter relative who is deathly afraid of spiders, any size. Can you imagine?! -- Go figure. Thanks, Lindsay.

Very clever. Beware of Greeks bearing gifts or cheese. Stay frosty my friend.
