Mice People

you got no
squattin
rights
here

you know what
happens this
time of the
year

it gets bone cold
at least starts
in your fingers
and toes

should've moved
on earlier gotten
a head start
but can't

seem to keep 
in mind the
grasshopper
and the ant

nothin to do 
now you're 
in the 
house 

except set out
tiny tables of
peanut butter
for you 

and yours
instead of
extention
cords

Lol. About that, stumbled upon tinnitus cure on line, turned out to be a sound recording. Felt like a brain cleaning, angling it at different spots in my brain, like scratching itches. Alas, didn't work. New pitch like a jet engine, kitchen aid motor...not that loud, but the pitch.

Mice for sure. Thanks Maureen, but I was serious about your line "smacked so hard I can hear stars"!!!!! You should write a poem about the 1977 "WOW signal".
