Today I caught a mouse!<\/strong>
\nToday I caught a mouse! By Sal Bianco<\/strong>
\nI never thought I could feel so bad as when I saw the mouse.<\/strong>
\nIt was a he, or she, who kept leaving little spots around the house.<\/strong>
\nSo, today I caught a mouse, and I feel so sad that I could cry,<\/strong>
\ncause now, I have to sit and watch it die. <\/strong>
\nI\u2019m sorry, Mister, I didn\u2019t mean to eat your crumbs from the floor!<\/strong>
\nToday I caught a mouse, but how can I ever forget its eyes,<\/strong>
\nas it struggled and fought to run from me with it\u2019s cries.<\/strong>
\nI thought I was clever, and set a trap that glued it to a pad,<\/strong>
\nI never thought that seeing it caught would make me so sad. <\/strong>
\nSo, today I caught a mouse, and now must try it set free<\/strong>
\nfrom a glue so strong that it could capture even me.<\/strong>
\nI tried my best to free it\u2019s tail, and then a leg, and paw,<\/strong>
\nbut no matter what I did, it became stuck, even more. <\/strong>
\nHey! I\u2019m stuck.. Help me! Please!!!<\/strong>
\nYes, today I caught a mouse, but now I\u2019m crying like a fool.<\/strong>
\nHey! It’s only a mouse\u2026 it’s only a mouse, so I should be cool,<\/strong>
\nso why do I feel so bad about myself, at being such a louse;<\/strong>
\nJust because I caught a mouse that was living happily in my house.<\/strong>
\nIt\u2019s not dead as yet, but soon will be,<\/strong>
\ncause no matter what, I cannot set it free.<\/strong>
\nNow all I can do is cry and cry, as I have to watch it die. <\/strong>
\nToday I killed a mouse, and I feel I too want to die,<\/strong>
\nBut no, because all I can do is sigh, and sigh, then just cry.<\/strong>
\nNever again can I think of a mouse, without seeing those eyes of fear;<\/strong>
\nthat I won\u2019t stop and think, and wind up with a tear. <\/strong>
\nGod! I killed a mouse, and cannot understand how people kill,<\/strong>
\nthings that live, and not feel what I now feel, and always will.<\/strong>
\nWhat pain and heartbreak I have in me,<\/strong>
\nSo God ! Help me to never again kill anything I see. <\/strong>
\nBecause I watched a little mouse that only wanted food,<\/strong>
\ndie because of me, so now all I can do is brood.<\/strong>
\nGod help me get good feelings back, and not be so sad,<\/strong>
\nit\u2019s only a little mouse I caught with glue on a pad. <\/strong>
\nI\u2019m a man who has lived a long life, and think that I\u2019m so smart,<\/strong>
\nbut all I can feel now is to live with a broken heart.<\/strong>
\nWhat\u2019s a little dirt and mess, against a life abound;<\/strong>
\nthat could still be happy, running, round and round.<\/strong>
\nI can\u2019t seem to stop the pain and hurt that is in my heart<\/strong>
\nSo God, just show me how and make me smart<\/strong>
\nto never be so foolish again, as to hurt another living being. <\/strong>
\nThe little is squealing: Help! Please help, and set me free!<\/strong>
\nYes, even a little mouse that eats, then leaves a little peeing. <\/strong>
\nSo what\u2019s a little cleaning after all that\u2019s said and done,<\/strong>
\nto save a life, knowing it\u2019s living and having fun.<\/strong>
\nLeaving little messes after all, it\u2019s only a little mouse<\/strong>
\nwho has chosen to live with me, in my little house. <\/strong>
\nI want to tell the world about the mouse I caught today,<\/strong>
\nso that all can stop and think, hope and pray, for that mouse I caught today. <\/strong>
\nNever again, can I watch a thing alive, die because of me.<\/strong>
\nNever again, cause now all I\u2019ll do is smile, then help to set it free.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
