Okay mouse,
Your time has come.
Scamper to my trap.
Act like you are dumb.
Look at this tasty
Piece of cheese.
Come on mouse,
I aim to please.
Just a little bit closer.
The trap is set.
Go for the cheese.
You have no reason to regret.
Oh no, he got the cheese
Without the trap catching the mouse.
Now he's the King
Of my house.
Why didn't the trap work?
I can't figure it out.
I'm extremely upset,
And just want to shout.
"Your time will come,
You fiendish mouse.
I will yet exterminate you
From my house."
Brave words,
Empty words,
The mouse won this round.
Time to call in
Horance the Hound.

I've heard mice really like strawberry granola bars. Maybe try that is Horace doesn't get 'em.
