My Confession and the Mouse That Roared

It was just a typical ordinary night I was all tucked up in bed Radio on reading a book By lamp light. When suddenly I saw a flash in the corner of my eye Boy I was so scared I nearly wet myself I was petrified. For there under the wardrobe I did see A giant mouse twitching it's nose I could have sworn It was laughing at me. It had two huge eyes The size of dinner plates It was nearly as huge as a house It was my worst nightmare come true A giant enormous mouse. I screamed when I realized it wasn't a dream At the huge hairy monster fiend Well I panicked and jumped out of bed Ran down stairs screaming!!!!! And banged my head. I grabbed a pile of books And hid in the bathroom And locked the door and put some things against the door And some towels at the bottom on the floor. And there I stayed for two weeks or more only occationaly Leaving to get a drink or some food Anything else I wasn't in the mood. Well I wasn't going to let a mouse outsmart me That would have been so silly You see So I bought a humane mouse trap Because I hate killing things And tried to tempt it in I tried every contraption on the market But still the mouse would win It was like a mouse hotel I tried sardines cheese and pastabake Chocolate and well done steak Salmon toast boiled egg and sweets It ate me out of house and home With all the treats. But still I couldn't get it. Well soon I turned into a crazed mad killer! With a shotgun and an axe I was a hunter and my mouse was my prey But still the mouse had it's day Dynamite was the last resort I tried real hard but it couldn't be bought. Then one day I found it dead The fattest mouse I'd ever seen laid by my bed. It was finally over to my relief But I felt so sorry for the critter that caused me so much grief. But having spent two weeks In the bathroom with all those books At least I came out a much wiser well read man And a mouse is all that it took But now I was broke I didn't have a penny left As I'd overfed the mouse to death Peter Dome.copyright.2014.
