Been Here Before

Have you ever?

Have you ever looked through your rooms for that little scuffling noise? I do it all the time. There it is. No, it's over there! Oh, I hear it upstairs!

I wonder how cold it is outside? That's when the scuffling really begins. Porous foundations lead to little visitors entering a house just when the mercury drops. What do I want to do with those scuffling noises?

Why, find where my owner put his little scuffling-noise traps. They snap! and they crack! and put an end, with a bit of peanut butter on the tongue-of-death, to those scuffling noises.

Ahh, silence on a winter night. No more scuffling noises. I'll sit back, on my fieldstone foundation here on the hill and await the sounds of Saint Nick clamboring about on the roofing tiles.
