Dead mice

I was notified of the dead mouse.
I was surprised it did not smell, having
been dead for some time, its rather dessicated
corpse clamped in the trap, eyes having lost
their sheen long ago.
I was notified of the chewing last night,
having slept through his having awakened
and prowling the house looking for traps,
finding rat traps he carefully set in the cabinet.
in the morning, an orange caution sign warning
of loaded rat traps.
Mice don't trigger rat traps
so I put them away.
He's a true coward around mice
Bella is a true loser at killing mice
Only I am the Mouse Hunter.
