Vanishing food from the bowl
Happy that he was eating well
Till I saw some morsels in a corner
Arranged nicely in a row in perfect order
Scratched my head from when
Did my dog got aesthetically trained
One fine morning the mystery was solved
At night a thief my hallway strolled
What gave the thief away
Was not a clean food tray
The dog food in the corner was gone
Picking up the poop after wards was no fun
Now I need to plan a murder, a full proof plan
A trip to Home Depot is a must today then
Poison as a means of elimination is out of question
Risking my beloved dog’s life is not a solution
Designing a better mousetrap need to wait
With what’s available, a trap must be laid
Planning for the ensuing murder is now finished
I know my stature in PETA’s eye will be diminished
Curtain needs to be drawn on a mystery solved
Surprised how I turned a murderer so bold

Nicely penned. I have a similar rhyming poem but the story is different: https://momentsbloc.wordpress.com/2017/06/24/the-escalator/

Great poem/story. We had a mouse one year, it collected dog food nuggets and had a big stash under the couch. It also ate candy canes, LOL. The first time I actually saw it, my parents were visiting. It was peeping out from behind the loveseat they were sitting on. I jokingly instructed Ginger (our resident mousetrap/cat) to take care of it, and she did. It took her two seconds and one swipe of her paw. We snatched it and let it go outside. 🙂
