I Set Out Mousetraps

I set out mousetraps Not expecting to catch a robber But I did. He was a big fellow, full grown Nigh onto fifty probably. Wore a mask. Before I released him I asked him to take it off. He refused, And he was rude. So I made him stay in the kitchen. And I went back to bed. Hoping he would change his mind. By morning he was gone, took my mousetrap too. Left my front door wide open. Ruder than rude. I was thinking this as I sat in my recliner And reached for my remote. It was gone, and my TV was gone too. I hope to never catch that robber again!

You must have a pretty powerful mousetrap :)

I was actually picturing him sitting around on a kitchen chair, furious, with a mouse trap on his left hand which is why he got away so easily....
