Unwanted Company

Through a crack in the wall he did peep,
Though in daytime he should be asleep.
All at once he did scurry
As if in a hurry,
Aversion in me running deep.

My brief sojourn outside was cut short
For such company I can’t support.
Any mouse running near
Makes me want to stay clear
Since with others he’s sure to cavort!

Caren Krutsinger Date: 7/26/2018 4:13:00 PM I like this limerick very much. In my case, the things we keep catching in the little sticky tracks are snakes. We have only had one mouse in 11 years; I am not sure which is worse. Fun to read! Login to Reply
