Mouse in the House It was early Christmas morning and all through the house not a creature was stirring except for a mouse. I was asleep in my big fluffy bed, dreaming of my honey and some sweet words she said; that is until I heard noises from the vicinity of my Christmas tree that didn't seem quite right to me. Who could it be? Was it Santa rummaging under my tree? I jumped out of my bed, ran into the living room where I said; "Come out, come out, whoever you are, you can run and you can hide but you won't get very far." Then I heard what sounded like a little mouse. Yes indeed, there was a mouse in the house. It appeared he had set up residence under my big red couch. Apparently he didn't fear my cat and on top of his head was a Santa hat. He said, "I carefully cleaned up every bread crumb you dropped, I even stayed out of your way the few times you swept and mopped, but now my world seems sadly adrift, I checked every package under your tree and found not my gift." I went straight to the refrigerator and grabbed a large chunk of cheese and with each bite that mouse took he seemed more and more pleased...
