ADVERSE POSSESSION

or

Tale of a Girl and a Short-Lived Mouse

One night last week, with dinner done
I spied an errant mouse
Flash right across my counter top
Then down to some secret house

Oh Mickey, what a pity
Sorry about the trap
Though your days were swiftly numbered
When you found that covert gap.


The scream was heard for miles around
While my dishes hit the floor
And glass of wine was tossed aside
As I ran straight for the door

Oh Mickey, what a pity
Hate to think you’re squirming
But furtive guests must know their place
Not pets! Not cute! Just vermin!


Then the realization hit me -
That I'd nowhere else to go
So back to a nightful of shudders
And fear the impostor would show

Oh Mickey, what a pity
You don’t understand
I’m loath to electrocute you
But I have to. (And I can!)


A great hero came forth to the rescue
Brave and bold, for the lady who cries
Soon the kitchen was ambushed and armored
To ensure, quick and firm, the trespasser's demise

Oh Mickey, what a pity
Look what you’ve done to me
A cold mouse murderer I’ve become
Who cares – at last I’m free!
