---The basement mice ... they scurry about
They are insolent guests … waiting for the lights to go out
Hustling -- running throughout … all of the walls and the floors
They are in-no-cent pests … that no one ever adores
Such a small creature ... without a single, cute feature
How do they survive? -- What keeps these mice alive?
To have a few mice -- is better than to be rat-infested
But, I’m getting a feline -- so each one can be ingested
“Turnabout is payback”, I shall whisper to my new tabby
And she will roar and prance … acting like a New York cabbie
The house is Oh! Oh so silent! -- each and every night
This kitty is so, so reliant -- and much to my delight
Two cans of tuna, some milk … what a small, small price …
Because these nighttimes I hear no noises …
Because now … finally now …
I have no mice
