Dearest, Are you there?
I heard a mouse squeak under the stairs
Not to worry, Honey
That’s just the window sticking in its track

Dearest, Are you there?

There’s something squealing now over there
It’s alright, Honey
The branches scraping on the Jacaranda
Just touching the door on the verandah
~
Sweetheart, Are you there?
I’m sure I heard some screaming down there
Dearest, It’s alright
There’s really nothing to worry about
~
Sweetheart, Please tell me what’s going on
I’m sure there is something there
Now I can hear a sobbing in the air
Yes Darling, I’m sure you’re right

I hit my finger in the dark –
As I chased that mouse under the stairs
Then I chased it through the squealing door –
Which hit my dodgy knee when I tripped on the floor
But I didn’t start to sob –
Until I caught my finger in the closing door

Which I couldn’t see –
Because the bulb had blown
In the torch I was holding as it fell and broke
As I was trying to catch that danged squealing door
To stop it from closing
~
Dearest, Are you saying the mouse got away?

It’s always best to look on the brighter side of life. Poem inspired by my wonderful Mum. Final image inspired from a riotous film called….”Mousehunt”.
Find a chuckle in your day, keep the blues away.
Happy weekend.
