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?"

Quoth Theraven Date: 5/26/2020 9:46:00 PM Gershon, Funny poem tickled. Gotta be enticed by a good muenster to find better etiquette, at least until done in. -Richard Login to Reply Gershon Wolf Date: 5/26/2020 10:15:00 PM Mickey Muenster, I presume. lol. Thanks, Richard. ~ gw

Lindsay Laurie Date: 5/26/2020 7:26:00 PM 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 Login to Reply Gershon Wolf Date: 5/26/2020 10:10:00 PM Ha, ha! I have a power-lifter relative who is deathly afraid of spiders, any size. Can you imagine?! -- Go figure. Thanks, Lindsay.

David Mchattie Date: 5/26/2020 5:44:00 PM Very clever. Beware of Greeks bearing gifts or cheese. Stay frosty my friend. Login to Reply Gershon Wolf Date: 5/26/2020 10:06:00 PM I'm gonna be careful of mice saying please, as well. Thanks, David! :) gw
