A mouse, oh no!

A mouse 
in my 
house 
Is not my 
friend
NOT my 
friend 
oh no
not my 
friend

I was sitting 
in the 
kitchen 
when I 
saw him 
fly by
from behind 
the fridge 
he didn’t 
even 
say hi

If I see him 
again
I’ll scream 
and I’ll yell 
GET OUT 
GO AWAY 
this is not,
a mouse 
hotel

He’ll look 
at me 
funny
nod 
as if to say
“I ought to know 
better
I ought to be 
kind
Forgive me
I’m hungry
and your home 
is so fine”

“So sorry 
I scared 
you 
but I’ve 
got to 
run
I’d like to be 
friends
we could have 
lots of 
fun”

But he never 
came back 
we patched 
up the hole
and I think 
it’s good, 
cause you just 
never know 
if someone’s 
a friend 
or someone’s 
a foe

After all, 
he’s a 
hungry little 
mouse
on the go, 
to and fro
