The Mouse Is a Rat

The mouse in our house is a rat, I'm now quite certain of that. It's not little and cute, It's long and uncouth. Can't wait til I hear it go splat! 11/16/12 (An apology to all animal lovers. I really do not want to kill it. I love animals too. I just want the germy rodent out of my house, and I want him to stay gone!) For Andrea's "Show Me the Funny Part II" contest

I loved limericks as a child this brought back memories, and it was well done.

I couldn't help but smile after I read your limerick. Hope your "friend" has permanently disappeared.

Ah, frustration let loose and what better place than here to vent your frustation. I sympathize because my horror story is much worse than yours. Splat! Love, Lizzie

I got a chuckle and I totally agree with you..There is a place for them and that is outside in the woods and open fields not in homes..Thanks for stopping by my blog..Sara

Hey, you got to do what you got to do. Well written - it gives a vivid scenario and the angst brought about by the mouse turned rat.
