I was on my computer
And saw movement in the hall
Was it Abandon?
Or maybe a ball?
.
I looked over
And in my house
Was a furry little creature
Some would call it a mouse
.
I said, “Hey, what’s up?”
He said, “I was looking for some sup.”
I asked, “Did you succeed in your plight?”
He said, “Not even a bite.”
.
I asked, “Is there anything else I can do?” without any ‘tude
He said, “Well, I’d really like some cheese. I’m in the mood.”
I told him that this was a vegan house
It contains no cheese, as I wasn’t expecting a mouse
And that I have a dog, who might give him a roust
That he better move his tail if he doesn’t want to joust
.
He told me, “No need to get up, I’ll help myself out.
I’ll tell the others that coming here to eat is in doubt
That for food they should find another route
And that if they don’t, with a dog they may bout.”
.
And so he left
As quiet as a mouse
And no one was left
Except Abandon and me in the house
I didn’t even get up from my chair
Partly so I wouldn’t rustle my hair
But mostly because I didn’t really care
