On a Cold Frosty Night
~~
On this cold frosty night so dark and still
I hear a rustle at my window sill
Is it my long lost lover, come to call?
A stray dying leaf, that dropped in the fall?
Or a mouse seeking ease from winter’s chill?
They’re vermin, I know, but I could not kill
The poor little beast. I hope that he will
Find a safe place, in a barn or a wall
On this cold frosty night
Some crumbs I may accidentally spill
That a hungry wee mouse may eat his fill
But then again, although he’s only small
I can’t have him running over the hall
Because if he did my screams would be shrill
On this cold frosty night
