Mouse Hunt

Mouse Hunt

                              

                                  When it seems as though a friend who claims to be easy
                                is more of a Whirl Wind than sincere and a tad misleading
                                it does no good to sadden nor to bluff even if you have to                                                      
                                huff and puff  

                                To find someone else is like searching for an elusive mouse
                                and when the only prospect whose interested in meeting
                               turns out to be a chimney with a wicked sense of humor 
                               it’s not exactly helpful

                               If something happens it’s back to trying to find another mouse
                               and three houses later success seems to elude you for more reasons
                               than one so you start wishing the mouse would come looking for you
                               and aren’t sure what bait to use- The Mouse Hunt goes on without                  
                               success and you can’t help wondering where the mouse is
