An Urban Thriller Part 1....

There's a mouse in my house.

An unwelcome guest,

A worry, a pain,

An unsightly pest.

For my pragmatic mettle, a test.

I thought I heard something

From my sofa this week

And when I looked up

My eyes caught a streak.

With a scurry, a squeak

It vanished so fast,

I thought it a dream.

No sign 'round the fridge

Where I thought I had seen

A tail most obscene

Disappear.

But last night there were noises

A few rustling sounds

So I tip-toed straight in

Stood my stockinged-feet ground

And waited.

And guess what I found.

With a flick of the switch

The room was alight

And against the white floor tiles

I took in the sight

Of a furry black critter

In flight.

So I turned off the light

And closed off the room.

And this morning I searched,

A harbinger of doom,

For something to rid that pest

From my room.

Now the trap has been set

And I patiently wait

'Til my unwelcome guest

Tempts its unwitting fate

By taking the bait....

Childish Games and Becoming A Follower...

Since we've been on the subject of children's activities of late (you know with my big Disney extravaganza and all that), I thought I'd continue the theme with a visit back to yesteryear and that all-time favourite, Mousetrap...remember how carefully we had to build it all up just to feel smugly satisfied at the successful capture of the mouse at the end?

Well there are some people that just never grow up...check this out!
