Household? More like a mouse-hold
But they’ve been told you can’t mold
Cardboard into a glass cage
Sudden rage at the rampage
Cut out the light and hold tight
Sudden moves cause sudden fright
And then flight; wait moments right
Just hold the light, he won’t bite
One-man animal control
Patrol, cajole, sweep and roll
Hope fades to black
Then with a smack
He’s trapped against the wall
It’s over, after all
Yet they’ve already been told
So it will surely unfold
In a similar way by the end of the day
Next time they can pay for a more permanent way
Or hey, just let them play
It’s not my place to say
So I must simply fold
Welcome to the mouse-hold
