Thanks Billy Collins

I once had my house in the country but it burned down recently. Thanks to Billy Collins, damn him! I put his poem up on my wall to read over and over again, chortling as I read his tail of the mice to grab the match ran through the walls and burned the house down.

I thought it was a joke I thought it was hilarious thinking of the cute little mice but then in the remains of my house I found Billy Collins poem Carefully chewed into tiny pieces and then reassembled again on the last remaining inside wall of my house. 

Clearly my country mice had read Billy Collins poem. And somehow, I knew they thought that would be funny to reenact the famous poem. I no longer have a countryhouse thanks to Billy Collins.
