The topic is "Build a Better Mouse Trap"

[ironpoet]

The Chairman has fond memories of playing the boardgame "Mousetrap" in his youth. I'm pretty sure I never played it according to the rules, though. Mostly, the IRON SIBLINGS and I just set up the full contraption immediately and then let it do its thing.

Mmmmm... Rube-Goldberg-ian...What are the IRON POETS experience with mouse traps? Do you

I once saw a mouse in my room
And since mouses are plague rats of doom
I called up a dude
Who could trap it with glue
And sent the darn thing to its doom

But one thing I didn't quite get
While planning to aid and abet
Was that I was beguiled
'Cause the mouse was not wild--
I'd just killed my poor roommate's pet

I'm a catch-and-release sort of guy
Who thinks the killing of mice is a shame
A mouse has got to do dirt to get by
But you know, it's all in the game.

IRON POET QUATRAIN

The winner is...

I'm giving the victory to IRON POET QUATRAIN. Nice perspective on the mouse's lot in life.

Also, I just can't give the win to someone who tries to rhyme "dude" with "glue". Excellent story, though!
