The Moose and the mouse
ran through our house
on that cold, gray winter's day.
The shower stammered
as the dishes clamored
and all our guest ran away.
Mother shrieked
as the windows creaked
and heavy hooves could be heard overhead
as a tiny mouse darted up her blouse
and she passed out as if she weren't fed......
I knew in my heart
that I had to start
to think up a well thought plan
to rid my house
of this moose and mouse
while my dear little house did stand.....
I grabbed a rope with my greatest hope
to lasso this moose so big
as the ceiling cracked
throwing dusty wood flack
of plaster
and tiny wood twig.......
I charged the stairs throwing aside all fears
like a gallant knight to rescue his queen.
Coming upon my room where this beast of doom
lurked in the shadows as if not to be seen....
I stood my ground
quickly calmed down
each moment seemed like a day
as this large scary moose
began to boost
"Boy! I've just come here to play."
"Play!" I did say in such a scolding way
"And destroy my dear little house!?"
"Not my fault dear boy!
it wasn't my ploy to enter your dear little house
for when your mom exited her car
she left the front door ajar
and let in my dear little friend
the mouse."

A little play on words and maybe a little touch of the winter's spirit.
