Banana Nut Bread Musings

Banana-nut bread
Sliced
Carried in the hand 
All through the house

Crumbs 
Dropped along the way
I wonder how long a mouse
Could survive on the crumbs

You would think
Slice, place on a plate
Get a fork
Sit down, eat and enjoy

But no
Carry it in the hands
All through the house
Is the best way to go

I know the mouse thinks so...

I have not seen a mouse in the house in a long time, but there always could be an uninvited guest roaming around at the quiet crepuscular time of day.

Hilo Poet Date: 11/10/2023 7:53:00 AM Lol, Sara. The tantalizing title led to mouth-watering expectations, being a favorite of mines. Fortunately, 'twas an entertaining exposé and a tad mouse envy, my friend. Aloha, William Login to Reply Sara Kendrick Date: 11/10/2023 1:16:00 PM Right about now, Hilo. I am jealous of the mouse as well. I need to make some more banana nut bread. LOL..Thanks for the visit to my page. Sara K

Kim Rodrigues Date: 11/7/2023 6:27:00 AM This is so cute! I would not want to leave a trail for a mouse and yet does this speak of deeper things! Hugs ~ Kim (Fave) Login to Reply Sara Kendrick Date: 11/7/2023 7:54:00 AM I am honored that you have faved it, Kim.

Victor Buhagiar Date: 11/6/2023 1:10:00 AM If there's anything I hate and almost fear, is mice. Lovely picture. I am always on the lookout. Great poem. Blessings. Login to Reply Sara Kendrick Date: 11/6/2023 3:13:00 AM Victor, Thanks for the blessings. I need them every day. I think most people don't like mice/a mouse/field mouse/mice/ and especially wharf rats. Sara K

Gershon Wolf Date: 11/5/2023 6:39:00 PM That's b/c it's not really a mouse, Sara. It's a 'fraidy-cat!' lol. Smiles, Gershon Login to Reply Sara Kendrick Date: 11/6/2023 3:12:00 AM Thanks for the humor, Gershon. I appreciate the visit and taking time to comment on my work. Sara K

Ink Empress Date: 11/5/2023 6:09:00 AM Oh my gosh hah yes! They are sneaky! I know all about them, same i havent seen one in ages and my friend finally got it all sorted too, was the worst experience for her, i love how you’ve written this and also the picture used, well delivered! Sending you light always Login to Reply Sara Kendrick Date: 11/5/2023 8:33:00 AM Thank you, IE. Those little creatures can wreak havoc if they happen to get into a food storage cabinet. I hope I never see one again inside my house. My cat died and I have not gotten another one and I probably need to do so, but cats will eat all the birds they can get, and I enjoy the birds. Maybe another solution to eliminating them outside in the fields. Maybe I need to get a hawk to handle that job. Thanks for the nice review of my work and I appreciate the light. Sara K

Sotto Poet Date: 11/5/2023 6:04:00 AM Beautifully written poetry, Sara; your images and imagination bring to life a difficult problem that we all encounter. Mouses are intelligent rodents that dwell wherever people do. Login to Reply Sara Kendrick Date: 11/5/2023 8:26:00 AM Thank you, Lasaad. LOL..Yes, they are intelligent. I read that if they come into your home and the only food that they find available are in low nutrients, they will leave and seek some other source of food. LOL..They love dog food and, also, cheese. Thanks for your kind review of my work. Sara K
