Invasion of the Mice
Went to sleep early to prepare for a bright new day....
I was shocked to hear my cat scrambling towards my bed.
But I didn't realize that as I turned on the light
She was rampantly chasing a mouse through the hallway onto my bed!
I screamed as I flung my bedspread in the air to get rid of the mouse.
But to my dismay, as I put on my slippers, only a few inches away,
I awoke to see that a mouse was staring at me! Two-thirty in the morning!
I just screamed and hurriedly grabbed a few tissues
In my attempts to remove this hideous tormenting invasion.
It landed in the hallway right next to my oriental rug
Only to be clawed by my hero Samii !
A thought came to mind: "Oh, no! I forgot to remove that dead mouse
That was on the sticky trap in my kitchen drawer, that's way behind."
I took a peek but only to find not one, but two small mice!
"Oh, God! Three mice within twenty-four hours!
How could I understand....under what circumstances? Why me?
Hoping I could get back to sleep, I don't know how,
How I managed to get up before my 5:30 alarm clock went off.
I woke up suddenly, shivered and shrieked,
That I Could Have Slept Beside That Darn Mouse!
