Poetry Inspired by Real Life

I saw a mouse in my house,

It gave me quite a scare.

I wish I had a boyfriend,

So I could sleep elsewhere.

Alas, I don't:

Let out a scream,

Jumped into my bed,

And wished it was a bad dream.

That was no help,

But I did not cry:
Calmed myself down

And let out a sigh.

I put on my makeup

And packed my dance shoes,

Took the train to Lucky Bar

To forget the blues.

Yep, this really happened to me last night! I was sitting on my couch, talking to Jenn, when I saw a mouse run from underneath my TV cabinet, across the carpet and down by the AC unit! I screamed, and screamed, and screamed. Hopefully the maintenance people will be able to resolve this furry issue.
