Holidays With Mouse Poem by Savita Tyagi

Holidays With Mouse

Rating: 5.0


So I bought two big sweet potatoes
To prepare delicious holiday pie.

Busy with other chores, baking
Was postponed for sometime.

As I opened the pantry for some food, puzzled
I was with fallen shreds of potato skins.

The nibble marks were so visible on its red skin
Not knowing the cause I simply threw the vegetable.

But that wasn't the end of story. With bite marks around
Soon other snack bags found its way in trash bin.

On morning of Thanksgiving I opened the pantry
Sitting inside fruit basket the little mouse greeted me.

Shocked I jumped with a scream
The tiny rodent ran up and down the hall.

From room to room it gave me an exhausting chase, finally
The scared mouse took shelter in attic and I slumped on bed

Now shopping for a mouse trap is
On my special winter list project.

Good-news!
Mouse has been caught!
Holiday cheers to all!

Your are lucky, mouse was happy with potato. Once he made hole in my pant, somehow, saved my skin. Ha ha good humour.

Ha... ha! Beautifully humorous! I can so relate to this experience! There are coconut fronts touching the terrace of our house and little rats climb down to our storage space close to the kitchen! We are constantly menaced by them!
