There once was a party of mice
Who were all quite allergic to spice
So they hired a yak
To taste-test all their snacks
And the arrangement worked out very nice

The Squeeze
– The Pricey Luxury Badge vs the Hovering Hulk – Most of us have a problem with car doors putting dents on the sides of our cars; we'd like to take up two spaces but then we'd get key'd out of spite if we did. Currently the 'Compact' spots are occupied by Schlong-Schlinging oversized trucks that have their Tuckus' so far out they block the drive through aisles; I'm probably the only one that's noticed.

So,nice
I love this poem! It's playful and imaginative, and the rhyming scheme is consistent throughout, which adds to the fun and light-hearted tone. The idea of mice hiring a yak to taste-test their snacks because they're allergic to spice is both creative and humorous. I appreciate how the poem is concise yet manages to convey a complete story with a satisfying ending. Overall, this is a well-crafted and enjoyable poem that made me smile. Great job!
