"Tails of the Mouses"
I haven't a clue
A bizarre thing to do
What do the meecies
Want with you?
Each time a new bar gets set on the shelf
They seem to think it's dinner
And help themself
What pleasure they get it's truly unclear
They shred open the corner and then it's clear
There's teeny tiny eensie weensie incisors
That have scraped the contents
And still to me it makes absolutely no sense
To dine on my bars of Fels Napha soap
I wonder if they toot fart bubbles?

And just when I think this is a problem we hear gnawing inside the plaster wall up toward son's old bedroom ceiling before 6 a.m. this morning. I went to the cellar for d-con and went to the attic to place it. I doubt it even gets in the attic, but just incase. I think it's a chipmunk, but it sounded like a groundhog at that hour! I have too many undomesticated critters here!

NO matter what type critter it is, I just hope it doesn't get into your house. |

Even with just an ordinary mouse, they can make so much noise in a wall. |

Cute poem. I just finished reading a book about the Gold Rush days. They said that they kept their candles and soap in a tin box because mice would eat them. I thought that was interesting. Why not eat food? |

So far no repeats so maybe it's gone. I hope! witt, that's pretty interesting. I know they used lard in soap. I'm not sure about candles. Maybe there's lard in the Fels, too, and that's the appeal. |
