I Think My Cat Ate the Mouse

I've searched high and low all over the house,

   For my cotton pickin' computer mouse.

      I ain't found it,

         Now confound it!

            I suspect my smug cat devoured the mouse!

G'day Robert … keep an eye on the roaming cat and the computer screen at the same time. If there's movement on the screen, that'll give the cat away - regards - Lindsay

Is your cat lying down with a mouse-shaped bulge protruding from its stomach? Seriously, this is very witty, Bob! Glad to see you writing limericks again. Love, Carolyn

Glad you enjoyed, Arthur. We have a dear old cat named Jeff and I wouldn't doubt that he would eat the mouse as mischievous as he is! Thanks for dropping by - Bob
