Mouse in the House

​There’s a mouse in the house
And the cat is flummoxed.
 
He doesn’t know how to hunt
And the mouse keeps eating his lunch.
 
It also ate an orange
From the bowl I put on the table
 
I found it on the floor
Torn in two.
The orange, not the mouse.
 
Magnus just looks at me
He doesn’t know what to do.
I could flush the mouse out
And show Magnus where it is.
 
But that didn’t work when I tried it in the garden
The mouse just walked away. Bored.
 
Time for traps
Baited with peanut butter.
 
I hope that works
I don’t like to kill them
But they won’t stay away.
