In Praise of Sticky Traps

There once was a mouse in Sassafras House.

The kittens were all in a lather.

They'd pace all about, in the kitchen and out.

I wasn't sure what was the matter.

Then one day that mouse, it ran out.

The kittens were ready to pounce.

A sticky trap said the Mama.

We'll have no more of this drama.

The hunters were crushed.

Soon the mouse......it was dust.

And the house slept in peace once again.
