we learned to not poke ya fingers ---212

This was looking back on how we learned to not poke ya fingers where they don't belong.   SNAP

Mother had a Mouse Trap

Mother had a mouse trap, to catch the pesky mice,

She always used to bate it, with anything but rice,

The rind of cheese old and smelly for them to entice,

Never failed always worked, from her you got advice.

The trap all set on pantry shelf, a dangerous devise,

Us kids to touch and set it off, never did it twice,

Catch ya finger in the trap, the result it isn’t nice,

We’re learning from experience, with danger do not dice.
