Just a frictional mouse cupped by hand
Stubborn on the mouse pad
As it  makes a stand.

Could it be a little sticky there
Where a popdrop may have spilt?
J-u-s-t think I’ll see  how the dang thing’s built!

“Oh no, it’s an optical mouse, one that can see!"
Where’s the ball bearing, one I can clean?
A mouse without balls?

Technology... Sure it has the best of me!
But between mice and men?  Well then,
For a little longer, hold high the chin.

miscee, you have such a delightful wit and you are so full of charm and creativity.

~ and your muse is very amusing!

I have a cordless optical mouse but I miss mice with balls! I seemed to have more control over mice with ball than the ones with eyes! lol

Robert Burns (of mice and men) was a friend of my family! Seriously! Two of my great, great, great, great, great grandfathers were friends of his and were also his pallbearers. The daughter of one and the son of the other married and their son was my great, great, great, great grandfather!

I love reading poems that depict snippets of your life!

Hugs with love,
Linda

miscellanea, So good to see one of the gals writing with a sense of humor! It seems only the guys have funny fingers with which to type out these humorous tidbits. Thanks, martyjo

My dear, in this modern world what you need's a rat, not a mouse..... no missing parts here!
