If you were a mouse ...

If you were a mouse would you rather die by mouse-trap or a cat eating you?

I go for mouse-trap

Loving couple:
I cant see you but I know you're there.
Got to get beside you cos its really cold out here.
Come up close to me youll soon be warm.
Hold me tightly like were sheltering from a storm.

Mouse:
Think I might go out for a stroll
Into the night, and out of this hole.
Maybe find me a meal.
Walking along this new shag pile
Presents a problem all the while.
Nearly the door.

Suddenly he bumps into wood, the door is closed.
A voice from the bed, hell be exposed.
Which way to run, must make for the hole,
The lights been turned on, hes blind as a mole in coal.

Now I can see theyre coming at me,
Theyve blocked off my door, I havent a chance in hell.

Couple:
Come on baby let the poor thing go.
Im not sleeping with that thing around here, no.
Alright then, Ill fetch a box from below,
Guard him carefully, theyre very quick you know.

Mouse:
The doors been opened, my chance to escape.
Must run out quick, better sorry than late.
Im out on the stairs.
They wont catch me now, Ive the run of the house now.
Ill make it downstairs and into the breadbin.
That would be nice.

Suddenly he bumps into fur, thats very unwise,
A cat is much quicker than men and their eyes.
The chase that ensues can have only one end,
Unless outside help steps in for our friend in need.

But now the cat comes in for the kill,
His paw is raised, soon blood will spill, yes it will.

Cat:
Hard luck mouse, this is the end of your road.
The signpost says inside me, let me bear your heavy load.

But its not to be, that final pounce
Knocks a jar upon his head, and lays him out.

But its all in a mouses night
To take on all those who would fight.

Cats story:
There I was with my back to the wall,
Then comes this monster mouse, hes ten feet tall,
With teeth and claws to match.
It only took one blow.

I don't vote for either of those options.

If I was a mouse and saw a cat I would use a spin front jump kick, quickly followed by an axe kick and finish it off with a double round-house kick!

For the mouse-trap, I would go on-line to find instructions on how to make a bomb. I would then blow the mouse-trap to smithereens!!

A mouse eaten by a cat at least serves some purpose. A mouse caught in a trap, then thrown in the garbage...

If we inferred a cat to be the natural predator, man is his own natural predator. Likewise we infer the mouse trap as being a construct made by superior beings to affectively kill those who were too problematic (troublemakers) and thus would die for the sake of curiosity

So whether I want to die at the hand of another man for whatever reason and or die for challenging the Gods themselves, and in my foolhardiness I die in their trap.

I think I'd rather die in a trap and consider myself (if postmortum existance permits) a sort of Prometheus for the mice.

Definately a mouse trap...

It would be a lot faster death, and therefore, only painfull for a fraction of a second.

Mouse traps are not always a quick way of death. It depends on the trap.
I would choose the cat, as it is natural and part of the circle of life...a mousetrap is artificial.

neither! if i was a mouse, id look forward to going to my home in the wall in a big house

Getting eaten by a cat would be a bit of a bummer, but at least it's quick. It would be better than slowly dying of starvation in a trap or because my legs were broken and I couldn't get around. If that happened, though, I think a cat would get me very fast and then it would have been death by both cat and trap, in a way.

Neither. I'd buy some street clothes and find two really good friends.

next to my idea that is the best one
