I have put up with you enough
You keep challenging my rights
From my parents, I inherited this house
But you wouldn’t accept it’s mine
You’ve sneaked in, to live in here
As if you’ve got a birth right
The legal system wouldn’t help me
To remove you from the site
You use my things; from my table you eat
But I don’t earn for both you and I
I tried chasing you off the bounds
You wouldn’t budge, despite my trying!
My efforts to have my house to me
To enjoy my ‘Possessory Rights’
To keep my place nice and clean
All blown off, I’ve no more choice
Frustration gives me murderous thoughts
I’m desperate to save my house
Though I hate to break the first precept
I just bought the trap, Mr. Mouse

Dear Nilmini
!!! I loved the surprise ending!!! When a restraining order won't do, traps is the only resort.
always, Cat
Thank you Cat.
Thank you for being so kind to post a comment on this. I thought nobody likes my poor poem.

i hope you shall be able to scare the fat mouse away....
from where you stay
and
in the doldrums of time,
his remains stilled...
you will be able to garbage.
Sorry
I'm so sorry for the long delay in replying. Didn't come on Neopoet for a long time. Thanks for wishing me well with the fat mouse. But this keeps happening all the time, one fat mouse replacing the other. ; )
Thank you
Oh, Ephraimcrud (I don't know how to pronounce your name. I got my tongue twisted trying to say it; ))
I'm so happy that you've enjoyed it. xxx
Oh Rat's
Damn mice every where,
If it's blind it belongs in a nursery rhyme
Tail less blame the Farmers wife
If it's struck it has run up the clock,
Hickory Dickory Dock
cant think what to make it stop
Sweet piece of writing there, Yours Ian.T
: )
Enjoyed your little mice poem.
Hi Beau
