MOUSE HOUSE* ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ In my shoe, I found quite a sight, a small mouse, with fur soft and light. He twitched and he squeaked, as I gasped and I freaked, Then we both took off running in fright! *This poem is written in memoriam and dedicated to the field mouse who mistakenly decided our garage would be a cool place to wait out summer's heat.

So who was most scared of who, Sara. A fun Limerick that demonstrates why I always turn a long unworn shoe or welly boot upside down and pat its sole - hard. Enjoyed. Terry

I think I was the one more scared, Terry. Appreciate your advice about turning shoes upside down and shaking them before inserting foot :-) glad you visited and enjoyed the poem. Sara

thanks, Rose, for dropping by and for your comments. Don't feed mice cheese....but our neighborhood is surrounded by fields...the mice think our neighborhood is merely an extension of their homes. :-)

This sounds so funny. The image is really cute. I imagine both the mouse and you running in fright in two different directions. Your limericks are truly enjoyable, Sara.
