Gershon Wolf Poet Rhyme

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

Lindsay Laurie May 26, 2020 at 7:26 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 Gershon Wolf May 26, 2020 at 10:10 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 May 26, 2020 at 5:44 PM Very clever. Beware of Greeks bearing gifts or cheese. Stay frosty my friend. Gershon Wolf May 26, 2020 at 10:06 PM I'm gonna be careful of mice saying please, as well. Thanks, David! :) gw
