These mice these rats their pitter pats
Oh what they're doing their eating chewing
Jumping bumping in my walls
Up and down throughout the halls
Their rodent bites throughout the nights

That's what inspired this angst-filled poem
I set down traps for nighttime snaps
As mice come sniffing ever whiffing
I lure them in with tasty cheese
And my traps give them the squeeze
Then every day to my dismay
Once blood is spilled and traps are filled
I take the corpse-filled traps outside
In trash cans go the things that died
Can I be freed this gruesome deed?
Or is this not my fateful lot
Day in day out forever more
Going about this dreadful chore.
It is not so for I say no!
And to pest management I go
For they will seal my walls for good
So rodents cannot chew my wood
Or fill my home with their disease
In every which and where they please
They cannot nibble insulation
Without remorse or hesitation
Roaming in and through my drawers
Plaguing me on all my floors
From top to bottom back to top
All this rodent junk will stop
For with my walls sealed ever tight
I will now sleep throughout the night
With sealed up window, sealed up door
I'll have my peace forevermore
