The Mystery

Something very gooey is in your house
We could not catch it because it was fast
We all freaked out when we saw a mouse
In a running race, the mouse will come last
Oh help us someone we cannot escape
After that we were panicking for help
Suddenly the small room was full of tape
A dad in the room said “Ow!” as he yelped
Then somebody found a small escape door
The small gooey monster has died or left
We are very thankful that we aren’t poor
The gooey monster did not have heft
The gooey monster liked the red clover
Thank goodness, this awful day is over
