The mouse made a masquerade <br />After biting my hand <br />When I was trying to feed it <br />Little pellets of D-Con death <br />and it ran into the potato infested corner <br />of my pantry <br />Next to the sticky traps <br />In between the spoiled tomatoes <br />and rotten avocadoes <br />And taunted me with its hubris <br /> <br />I wish I had a cat. <br />But I can't get one <br />Because I am allergic <br />And sometimes the remedy <br />Is worse than the cure <br />And in my case <br />I still have a couple of spoiled tomatoes <br />and rotten avocadoes.<br /><br />Denis Kucharski<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-mouse-made-the-masquerade/
