Sense Sonnet - Tickler

Mouse Trap Tickler

Colorado voters did vote
To amend their constitution,
Making it illegal of note
To use a trap of purpose done
To control a wild animal,
By holding a body part tight.
Guilt of such is punishable
By a prison term - not too slight.
So use of a common mouse trap
Is against Colorado law.
While humans are taking the rap,
All the mice are squeaking "hurrah."

No mouse traps; so back to square one
It's legal to use a shotgun!
