There's a Mouse Inside My House
By Candace Shultz
I saw a mouse
Inside my house.
I screamed and ran away.
I got my cat without delay
To make her catch her prey,
But I was just betrayed
Because my cat only stayed
While her tail swayed
And the mouse, afraid,
Ran under the dishwasher.
My cat began to purr,
Not a hunter, for sure,
So I yelled at the mouse,
"You can have this house!"
And I moved shortly thereafter
To the sound of teeny laughter.
Thoroughly enjoyed that! Thanks.
