Micky that dam mouse the most terrible of his kind

Haunts both my conscious and unconscious mind

He scampers in my cavities destructive in his activities

Destroying my dreams when he starts to play



He stalks with claws uncurled

Striking fear when observed

Fur so dark and dense and with a tail so immense

Leaves me awake up and running for the door

I give up on any pretense to any defense

As he swiftly drives me from my bed


It's amazing how he evades the cat

He's extremely good at that

Poison he can suss out

No matter which is put out

Traps he leaves unsprung
 
The next solution is a gun

Though at present he left too have his fun

While sleep for me there's none
