(140) The Cheese-Stealing Critters Poem by Risha Ahmed (12 yrs)

They race around the dining table
Ruining the place with litter
They vault over the refrigerator
The evil cheese-stealing critters
They gnaw a hole through your apple
They run away with your cake
You wish they’d stop doing that
For heaven’s sake!
They snatch your biscuit
From beneath your nose
And they leave its crumbs
On your toes
They may be very tiny
But don’t judge them by their size
Because what they can do
May leave you in surprise
Don’t let them roam free in your house
They are not at all nice
These pesky little creatures
Commonly referred to as mice!
