'Twas a Sunday night, and all through the house
Nothing was stirring, not even --
CRASH!!!
*squeak squeak squeak squeak*
"Oh, Sam, how clever: just what I wanted, a little furry MOUSE. Can I play? Oh go on."
*squeak squeak squeak squeak*
We play with mouse. (That is, I rescue mouse, and it tries mountaineering.) Very merry.
*squeak squeak squeak squeak*
Sam tires, and usurps Chair. (Yes, all a cunning ruse!)
Mouse is released outside the front door.
And I wouldn't mind so much if he hadn't caught it in the study: but evidence suggests that it was planted, a set-up, a fix.
