the almost "flaming of the shrew"

the other night we decided to have a campfire dinner with mike and his family! but as we were about to light the fire, Shawn or possibly Mike (i don't remember who) noticed a mouse hiding under the wood and rocks of the fire pit!
so the chase began!


Shawn was finally able to catch the what we thought was a mouse...but ended up being a shrew!

Ivy wanted to hold it soo bad!
so we put it in a bottle so she could get a closer look with out danger or harm...
(to either mice or men!)



*** no animals were harmed in the making of this blog,
he was returned to the wild and is living a healthy, normal life. :)

the poem:
**please keep in mind this was for a 4th grade project.

once i came upon a shrew,
who promptly bit my little shoe.
so i took him up in my hand,
and tossed him in a frying pan.
when i saw he would not fry,
i flipped him out,
so he would not die.
shrews eat moss and grass and leaves.
i wonder if a shrew eats fleas?
they like to dig they like to squeak.
the shrew is somewhat of a freak.
so now i end my tale of shrews,
there day is done they've gone to snooze!

(blush)
