the mouse in the house...

the mouse in the house

why did you make…
that little scratching noise…
just when I walked by…
and drew my attention…
to you hiding behind me…
in the pantry I will find you…
you fuzzy little rat…
why don’t you just scat…

where are you hiding…
you silly little rat…
tossing stuff out…
I began my attack…

oh my! in the flour bag…
you did play…
it made you look a ghostly gray…

no where left for you to hide…
you ran out and tried to flee…

Oh you ghastly little rat…
on my foot you dared to sat…
such a scream they all did hear…
when you came out from hiding…
and ran again to disappear…
but on my foot you stopped …
and sat…

who knew I could jump so high…
with such a scream I was…
hoping I could fly…
far away from that feeling…
of your fuzzy little hide…
touching my foot…
I reached for the sky…

OMG! I tried to fly…
an elbow in the chest…
as I came back down…

oh you silly men…
just standing there you were…
swords and daggers…
ready for the attack…
all for just one…
silly little rat…

and they think I am…
the only one afraid …
of that little ghastly rat…

just get out of my way…
for I will not stay and play…
with that rat in the cupboard…
like ole mother Hubbard…

What a cataclysmic adrenaline rush. It is quite comical to vision your concerns to something so much littler than thee. Then again, my father can understand your frenzy wholeheartedly. Very well written, long, but who really knew for I just feared I would not read fast enough to reach the climax before a tragedy might catch me by surprise. Good Job! Anchor.

Awww this is cute. It was weird for me reading this, because like a flash a memory I hadnt thought of in YEARS came rushing foward. Me back in 1st grade, our teacher was making every1 tell a joke to the class, and I of course didnt do my homework and wasnt prepared. So I just made something up and my joke was 'Why was the lady jumping on the chair'? Because there was a mouse in the house Haha, awful I know but I was 6 right? Lol...Thanks for the great write, and the recovery of a lost memory. -Spence

Yeah Asha, those rodents can eat you out of house and home....but, try as you may, they are the dickens to get rid of. I like this line of yours...."who knew I could jump so high"…....g

If I feel physically as if the top of my head were taken off, I know that is poetry.

Emily Dickinson (1830-1886) American poet.
