Oh Balladeer it's You that I need.

There's a mouse in the house,
he's as fleet as the wind,
It took a long time
to decide  what it was  
scurrying across my kitchen floor.
so fast only a flash of a shadow
as he easily slipped under
the dinning room door.

I understand his need to come here,
he's looking for warmth,
and that's not a sin.
it's been cold and he must feel it in him.
A part of me feels I can share these small rooms
But the sane part of me knows he can not move in.

I then noticed bits of stove insulation,
that's what it looked like and "nesting" I thought
So if he's a she... than more will be brought
soon I will be supporting a mouse home invasion.
Oh, Balladeer it's you that I need
To help me decide what to do
with a family of mice.
