The Hungry Hurried Mouse

by William Meeks IV

My nose sticks out peeking
Eyes quickly seeking
From inside me a squeaking
Something smells good
Out of my hole I scurry
Fast in a hurry
Across a floor that is furry
I’m getting close now
Scratch, climb, scratch
Up an electric cable
Pitter, pat, pat
Across the table
Sniff, sniff, smile,
I was finally able
To eat up that delicious cheese
So good my mouth smacks
Was that cheddar or jack?
All is great but the fact
I have to find my way back
