White Mouse - Grey Mouse

White Mouse - Grey Mouse

I’m a little white mouse
Playing on my wheel.
Run! Run! Run!
Squeal! Squeal! Squeal!

A very happy life I live
In my house of wood.
I have my nest of hay,
My water and my food.

Out there,
The world we share,
Grey mice
Run.
They all play
Till dawn of day
Having
Fun.

I have a little mate.
She is white as well.
She doesn’t use the wheel much;
She prefers the tinkle bell.

Sleeping through the day.
Running through the night.
Having an exciting time
When Sun turns off its light.

I see
Mice like me.
They are
Free.
But who’d
Give them food?
Who can they
Be?

Run! Run! Squeal! Squeal!
Ring! Ring! Sleep.
Daylight. Snooze tight.
We don’t make a peep.

Dreaming of different fur,
Grey instead of white.
Living in the wild, wild world.
Freedom left and right.

I’m free
With those like me,
Grey mice
Play.
Romp and prance,
Leap and dance,
Till the end of
Day.

It’s night. I wake.
Yawn! Yawn! Squeal!
Back in my house of wood
Running on my wheel.
