Also good is "Wee sleekit cowrin beastie, what a panic's in thy breastie". My mother loved rodents, made her cry to see them caught in traps which my father gleefully laid. In Abilene in the years '57 to '59 the rodents migrated into town because of drouth in the country. People set traps and laid poison. Sometimes dogs and cats got hold of the poison and died excruciating deaths. I remember seeing my mother feverishly forcing some vile liquid (bacon drippings and baking soda?) down the mouth of our dog who had picked up the stuff somewhere. Didn't help him, he died excruciatingly in front of our eyes. I myself never saw the harm in the wee creatures. My wife thinks otherwise, can't even abide squirrels. The world divides between rodent-haters and rodent-lovers. When in due course the lion lies down with the lamb, I reckon I'll lie down with a mouse. Senor Buenoparnada is good.

On inspection, it proved to be entirely full of dog kibble, stored by an industrious mouse and or family thereof. This set off another round of caulking.
