Prompt: All I Want is…..
All I want is that mouse to die
He has been eating the food that I set out for my dog
Stupid dog, will not kill the mouse
Wish I had a cat
Stupid dog lets it eat his food
I think they are friends
I go to the store, they have built better mousetraps
At least that is what the shelves say
So many options but what will work
What can I buy that will get the mouse and not my dog
Not poison, no, the dog will find the poisoned mouse and eat it
It would eat a poison mouse for sure, stupid dog
So a trap then, but I can see him now running around the house
Yelping with a trap on his nose, stupid dog
Glue? Stick little mouse feet to a pad of glue
Could work, should work, but then the dog
His face glued down with the mouse side by side
Little black eye staring into large brown one
Live traps, little cages, but then what?
Release him out into the wild or the neighbor’s yard
Throw it into some water the package reads
I have visions of little bubbles escaping a cute pink nose
Time to buy a cat.
