eek said the wisdom
I'd told him it was a dead mouse
picked it up off the side of the road
and handed it to him
his little face
displayed a comedy of expressions
and then he put voice to his feelings
with a long "ewwwww"
but had he looked properly
he'd have seen it was just some old wood
that looked like a mouse
and that
concluded the lesson
don't.trust.anybody
..perhaps
the lesson was an afterthought

I like it. Don't think it needs the last line, though. It still shines through. Here you were last week acting like you were going to be a sweet and mild grandpa. We humored you for a bit anyway.

Cheers Steve
I'd been weighing up that last line just as you commented, so thanks for that, it's out the window.
figured I'd grab a twig out of your bushel and go a different direction. I'm not sure how I feel about it in terms of being poetry, it took some restraint not to throw in at least a couple of internals. figured I'd post it and see what the minds think
ha, yes, yes you did, and so it seems I put a bit of wood in your hands and told you it was a mouse
..wait
thanks for dropping by Steve

the last line is perfect... it gives you the justification you somehow decided you needed for the silly trick. I love everything about this.

Petit one,
Thank you kindly dear Lady, yeah you got me there. I find it's always better to have some excuse for his mother when he's been traumatised by my silliness

Well, that's a big lesson from a lump of wood - or a dead mouse. Wait, I'm confused, what am I holding here?
A tidy little amusement of words, Craic, made me smile.

Enjoyed the read.
Third stanza do you need, actually, just and bit?
Either to remove or substitute removing actually may upset the first line.
comedy of expressions . . .comedy in the sense of drama most original use of this much neglected and misunderstood word.

Mr Kexby sir, nice to see you
Glad you enjoyed, I think you're right about the third stanza. Actually seems out of place now I re read it, but I think the line will survive if I leave just where it is under it, It's not needed either granted.
funny enough the three words that stick out were the three I put in to soften the tone a little.
much appreciate your eyes here good sir, thank you kindly
