A mouse makes a new place for herself |
Mousie I found a mouse one morning When I stepped into a boot And felt soft, furry vermin Squeak underneath my foot I said "You have to leave now, My boot's not your address." She headed for the window To get outside, I guess. I grabbed myself a clean towel Went looking for a comb I found the little mousie Had decided her new home Was in my dresser drawer I explained it was not so That her little, fuzzy self Would really have to go I took her mouseness outside I told her "Find a field." I shut the back door firmly And then it was revealed That when I locked my windows And closed up every door That mouse on my pillowcase Giving a Titanic snore. I scolded and I pleaded For her to go away. But no matter what I tried This critter planned to stay. " If you're going to live here It's me you need to please." When she squeaked agreement I located the spray cheese. I taught her all about it She liked cheese in a can. I wasn't being thoughtful; Instead, I hatched a plan. The next time my neighbor Parked his car in our driveway I smiled and woke up Mousie We had a game to play. I spray-cheesed all the wiring Inside his new sedan Then told the mouse to eat it That's when she began To gnaw on every wire To chew, to masticate, To bite, and grind, and also chomp Mousie ate and ate She twitched her whiskers at me As we stood in the road To watch our puzzled neighbor As he had his car towed Now you must practice courtesy In my yard and at my house If you don't, then I'll be sure To unleash a hungry mouse. |
