Epitaph for a Mouse (Inspired by Desperaux)

Little mouse, little mouse
Not in my house
oh, little mouse

What's that?
Your tummy aches?
something toxic that you ate?

And now you sleep
and slumber deep
I wonder
Will your family weep?

But no more
will we wonder
As my kitchen
you do plunder

So, goodbye
our furry friend
This message we do send
That all others'll share this end

Ew, that is so gross. But your poem is inspired, for sure. :)

Hi Ginger! Just checking out your blog through Jennie's. I love your poem! We have many mice who have similar fates in our home. Usually in the basement or we smell them in the walls for a few days, nice huh? So good to see updates on your family!!
