A house mouse

One evening at home
during Corona shutdown
a black mouse appeared
ran along the wall
shocked I screamed
for my husband
so surprised no scared
just weird that
it materialized now
and that somehow
it kept us grounded
in total reality
a mouse in our house

Another eve again
it came  and said hello
Methinks his name is Henry
after the pirate "Jack Avery"
This swashbuckling
started his career in
a town called Corunna!
This little creature
captures our minds
traps have been set
no  dice - no mice

Yesternight after
almost a five-day hiatus
again he came to visit
we were sitting quietly
reading books.
Hubby found a hole
in a wall - Henry's
 escape will be like
his namesake's cache
Henry's hoard was
never found -
and the current Henry
will not be bound.
