FAWM 2018 #1: Cereal Offender

Quick take on living in a house filled with semi-nocturnal creatures.

Lyrics

In the middle of the night an intruder prowls,
leaving oatmeal congealed on the stove,
Raisin bran cemented on the side of the bowls.
And the Captain crunching under our feet.

Evaporating milk a gallon at a time,
Using every single bowl in the house.
Gobbling up all the Fruit Loops, leaving nothing behind.
I can't even find a spoon!

I'm gonna pull on my deerstalker hat
And follow up on every clue.
I'll polish up my magnifying glass.
When I find out, I'll know just what to do.

Who left it like this? Who's gonna confess?
Justice will be swift and sure.
The cereal offender will be cleaning up the mess.
Who's guilty? Is it me or is it you?
