Mouse hunting!

I prefer to throw them on fires, they kind of pop and screech as they desperately try and escape.

i hate when you put out a mouse trap and they walk around it and sniff it and dance around it and taunt you; same with the rat poison, they look at it, taunt you, and go on with their lives

The Mouse Trap
by Christian Morgenstern, translated by Max Knight

I

Palm lacks bacon in the house,
but is troubled by a mouse.

Korf, aroused by Palmstroem's gloom,
builds for him a wire room.

And he puts his buddy in,
next to him a violin.

Night arrives with stars aspark;
Palmstroem fiddles in the dark.

As the artist hits his stride
comes the mouse and steps inside.

Back of it, like mystery,
drops the trapdoor quietly.

Shortly, Palmstroem falls in deep;
undisturbed and quiet sleep.

II

Korf, at daybreak, loads his client's
cleverly conceived appliance

onto what we'd say is an
intermediate moving van,

which a horse's lively trot
carries to a distant spot,

to a lonely forest where
he sets free the precious pair.

First the mouse steps out, and then
Palmstroem leaves the wire pen.

Through the new enviroment
romps the mouse in rapt content;

Palmstroem, homebound with his friend,
relishes the happy end.

I hope the mice will be treated humanely?

Last time I saw this idea it involved terriers and rats. Good game, unfortunately now banned.

Place I used to work had mice in the shop so they put down poison. The mice ate it, crawled back in the walls & died. The puke inducing smell lasted two weeks. I thought we had a mouse in the garage so put down a sticky trap. A couple days a later there was an oak leaf lying on top of the trap. When I took the leaf off the trap there was a critter underneath that wasn’t dead. It latched onto my finger & wouldn’t let go and I had to pry it off. Turned out to be a mole not a mouse...not that it mattered; it still was a nasty bite.
