marry_creased_mouse
raze if you married
a creased mouse,
you would live
in a small house,
with paper-thin walls
and irregular halls
and a puckered
but affable spouse.

should you fit
through the front_door,
you'd be met
with a sharp roar,
for a rodent who's lined
at least some of the time
has a squeak that
could fracture the floor.

you'd be wise
to elope first,
since each marriage
is unrehearsed,
and commitments are made
with too little heed paid
to the flip side
of "better or worse".

but do marry
a creased mouse,
in your dreams
if nowhere else.
when your children
are grown, you'll
admit with a moan
it was worth it for
all the fine smells.

epitome of incomprehensibility *applause*

Also, I JUST found what I was thinking of when I wrote: it's merry_creased_mousse. I'd misread it this whole time.
