Maybe its when we don't have what we really need. I like the metaphor, how you compare people to mice, or mice to people. Maybe its when we don’t have what we really need.

When you think of mice as part of a family, and allow yourself to empathize with them, your attitude toward them changes. Moving from mouse empathy to human empathy is a bit of a stretch, but it was food for thought (perhaps peanut butter?) You need a cat. Interesting metaphor.

SALVAGE
Beware of the rats!
The sight of that rodent in the house
Instant thought is “trap for the mouse”
In a jiffy it is out of sight
Leaves one in fright

Well it is not the size of the rodent
Afraid, it is those deeds of that rodent
Out of sight it hides in a hole
Long term damage being its goal

Lurking in the dark seen by none
One does “smell a rat” when the damage is done
Unseen they operate, to nibble is their trait
Tattered things around, useless is any bait

Remain alert! Look for signs of damage
Take action! So that there can be some salvage
Prevention is always better than cure, a said recommendation
Early active measures will stop crumbling of foundation

Toxins to terminate are hardly of any use
Side-effects affect you, something to muse
That those rodents escape toxin-attack
But you, be aware of the subtle rodent-attack

Insecure they feel therefore do not want to be seen
Nibble is what they do as they are restless from within
Lurking in the dark, hiding in the hole
Remember long term damage is their goal

Be aware of what they can do
Stop the damage or be ready to renew

Come to think of it. Could the first dead mouse sacrificed itself so that his friend/relative/off spring… can get at the food ?
