Mouse

I'm not sure where you came from

or how you first arrived,

but you certainly startled me

as I was filling a bottle full of milk

with my grandson at my side.

A little more than an inch in length,

not a finger length to me

but the commotion that you provoked

is more than ten fold your size.

Don't know if you were a Mr. or Mrs. Mouse,

but since I hadn't really invited you

I'm glad the cat's bowl near by

once overturned allowed me to capture you

and put you out where you belong:

no longer inside my house.

And what good is that damn cat anyway?
