My brutal and ruthless side.

I think there’s a mouse in the house. A wasp, too. And I don’t want any of ‘em around. So I have chosen to kill. To execute. I have a lethal weapon. A fly swatter for the wasp. He’s as good as dead. It’s just a matter of time. Meanwhile, I have delegated my two cats, Loverboy and Chenuska, to mouse patrol.  They have been authorized to kill. Normally, I put the cats into a bedroom for the night. But for the moment, they have free rein of the house. Round-the-clock. For as long as it takes to rid the premises of a solitary mouse. Goes to show that I have a brutal and ruthless side. –Jim Broede
