When you weren't looking, I snapped your pic
you never heard my shutter click
my camera caught a glimpse of you
in candid pose without a clue

gotcha!

your mouth was open, tongue stuck out
one look and you are gonna shout
"that annoying rodent, fat of cheek
I'll catch that pest and make her squeek"

but you'll not catch me, I'm too fast
with tail held high, I'll scamper past
and as you turn to slap me down
I'll snap a shot of you the clown

gotcha!

the lesson here, is always smile
and never get the madame riled
in little claws with nails that grasp
she's got a secret camera stashed

and when she spies you at your worst
she'll snap your photo, unrehearsed
while munching on your bulbs of crocus
she keeps that secret camera focused

so keep alert, stay on your toes
or she'll catch you in a stupid pose
she'll hang you on her wall of shame
your goofy look, forever framed

with vacant stare and dribbling drool
you'll look, the empty headed fool
as she posts your pic for all to see
her furry cheeks will puff with glee

because
Madame Chipmunk

gotcha!
