I do my shopping all online

It’s easier to do.

Except for just one little thing

I’m going to tell to you.

The problem that I have I fear

Is a misbehaving mouse.

It orders stuff I shouldn’t have

For delivery to the house.

I do my best to grab it back

Come back here I wail

But now it’s gone all wireless

And it doesn’t have a tail.

It wanders up and down the aisles

Clicking there and here

I try to keep it well away

From where they keep the beer.

It knows I’m diabetic

But it doesn’t give a fig

Clicking on the chocolate

Has me looking like a pig.

And so I’ve had to cage it

When I go to shop online.

The keyboard now it has to be

Though it takes a bit more time.

My mouse tends to misbehave in the same way. Maybe there should be training classes. Do you remember Barbara Woodhouse? Perhaps she has a grandchild who specializes in mice?

Oh I remember Barbara Woodhouse all right, I used to wonder how many headless dogs she was responsible for!

My mouse behaves badly too sometimes but it's my index finger on my phone that's worrying me. It keeps going onto websites and ordering all sorts of things, l can't just get rid of it either! What to do? Xx😀

I have one of those too, don't know how it happens - it's as if a nervous tic takes over, wouldn't mind if it stuck to things I actually need instead of latching onto things that I only like😧☹️😄😄

Hahaha 🤣🤣🤣 Good morning Don & Midge, love the poem, don't know how you keep churning them out! I have an errant mouse too, the naughty little thing ordered loads of clothes before my holiday, but they didn't arrive until the day after I left - I guess I'll just have to sort out all his mess when I get back 🐭🐭🐭😊🌻Christina

My bug is "touch devices" I have great difficulty with touch pads on laptops and touch screens on phones. The skin on my fingers must be too thick from work I think.

Shopping is the one thing that gets me out of the house and with the trolley to lean on I still manage fairly well but my problem is my shadow that puts things in my trolley when I am not looking, it can't keep away from the quick sale and John plays war at too much food. Perhaps if we give your mouse to my shadow and let them get on with it both our problems could be cured. Keep smiling Rosabeth..

Great poem. I 'retired' my mouse some years ago as my cat kept chasing it!
