A Handy Mouse

This rodent
Is obedient.
It helps me connect
In an instant

With the ones
I simply love.
It’s a cute mouse,
Never runs all over my house.

I have laid no traps
To tempt him with bread.
He sits in one place
And politely behaves.

He obeys my commands
And makes no demands.
It does have needs
Just some leads,

So it can work
It has no quirks.
So I am at ease
And work in peace.
