​I have a little visitor 

An uninvited guest. 

He's clever and sly 

Hard to catch with my eye. 

He comes out in the dark 

A mere shadow, so quick! 

It's hard to tell 

What mission he's on

When he scuttles around, 

Silently but with purpose. 

In trying to find 

Where he's chosen to hide 

It's a challenge too far for me! 

I left him a note 

A notice to quit 

Three days he'd got 

Before I evict 

Or else..........!!!! 

Now he's eaten my bread 

And chewed on my chocs 

Tomorrow I'll earnestly search 

And if found he's in danger, a very real danger 

Of finding himself dead! 

So, little mouse 

Heed my warnings to you 

Pack up your suitcase 

And find a new home!
