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 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!
