Prints by the sink where she often comes to drink Prints on the seat of the toilet aren’t so neat Prints on the bed Little dimples across the spread Prints on the hutch in hair and dust she lays so much Prints in my lap She’d been outside before our nap Prints in my house Oh everywhere None from a mouse Prints on my car windshield and all acts like a star Prints on the top as you walk by heads she'll whop Prints all in red smear cement CRUNCH rat is dead (thanks Jerry for inspiring the last 3 stanzas) [This message has been edited by Lori Grosser Rhoden (04-08-2014 06:26 AM).] |

Heh.Heh A mouse-proof house, and all it took were a few thousand and one "prints" to discourage those nasty little critters. Nice, fun poem with a definite message. ~*~ In America, anyone can become president. That's the problem. ~*~ |

Heh.Heh Ahhh . . . I'm happy I caused you to write more to "Prints." You tied it all up wonderfully, although Owl may not like that you killed the rat. Heh.Heh again.. ~*~ In America, anyone can become president. That's the problem. ~*~ |

I think Owl understands the nature of things and why there where no mice in the house... |

Jerry is right. Owl doesn't like that you killed the little sweetie-pie. And no, Owl doesn't understand the nature of things, if killing rats is the nature of things. A very sad Owl |

I'm so sorry Owl. I had no idea all your pets are vegan. I never imagined...Would never have invited you to read. I do apologize.  Lori [This message has been edited by Lori Grosser Rhoden (04-08-2014 06:26 AM).] |
