The Missing Mouse comical poem by Angela Lansbury Copyright

 


Something is wrong with this house

A mouse which nobody can see

I knocked it on the floor somewhere

And it's eluding me


I'm sure that I would be just fine

If somebody could redesign

A mouse, which falls a foot or two

Will quickly bleep, alerting you


Maybe I'll add luminous tape

So that the mouse cannot escape

You wonder how I found it

What we did to confound it


After I had looked everywhere

My husband looked under my chair

And guess what,folks

Yes, it was there.


So with this mishap in your mind

I'd be glad if you'd redesign

A mouse which you see day and night

And shouts, 'I'm on the left,' (or right)


When your prototype's reached its best

And you want to give it a test

I will drop it right behind me

Dear friends, you know where to find me.


I'm on the floor

In my own house

I'm looking for

A missing mouse.
