I have a mouseolem, Somewhere in my walls; I set traps with favored cheese, Peanut butter really teases, These are my preferred baits. Some days they just can't wait To navigate my drawers. Eat bristles from my BBQ brush, Crumbs on counters and on floors. They're good at reproducing, It's what they're wired for. They're good with their escape, Both mouse and my bait; And that concerns me. Is their rate of copulation Proportionate to a brighter breed? Twice the traps have disappeared With all the treats in tact; I was sorely feeling stumped, Yet sure I wouldn't be out-trumped. I'm on top of it. They won't win. It's a survival struggle we're caught in. If we snap the minion mice, We'll surely ****** the rat. And every cat will arch it's back, The traps are set, No going back.

I have a mouseolem, Somewhere in my walls; I set traps with favored cheese, Peanut butter really teases, These are my preferred baits. Some days they just can't wait To navigate my drawers.

They're good with their escape, Both mouse and my bait; And that concerns me. Is their rate of copulation Proportionate to a brighter breed?
