Infestation
When she screams like a banshee, running through the house,
just because she saw a tiny little mouse,
the mouse bilks all her efforts to thus scare it away
by slipping in the closet where in time it may
produce many other creatures of its ilk
in a tiny nest it has established in the silk
contents of her drawer of sexy lingerie—
picking for its bed her favorite negligee.
So, if she’s so lucky as to score a kiss
and, planning for a night of amatory bliss,
she reaches in her drawer, completely unaware
of the little visitors housed in her underwear,
no doubt she’ll find reminders of that earlier day
and the previous companion she thought she’d chased away.
Then her latest conquest will beat a fast retreat
as her former screams she ventures to repeat.
Word prompts today are banshee, reminder, bliss, bilk and house. Illustration thanks to Frenjamin Benklin on Unsplash.

Dang thing managed to sneak I to the house while we were away on a trip. I suspected there was a critter in the bedroom, but scared the crap out of me when I pulled back the bed covers and it leapt out!

How long had it been there? Did it create a huge mess?

I don’t know, but no more mess than a mouse would have. It was hard to catch, but I did, eventually.

And they are so cute. I used to love feeding them when we went on trips. No chipmunks on the prairies of South Dakota.
