The Clever Mouse (A Nursery Rhyme Of Sorts) Poem by Chris Embrick

Clever, clever little mouse
you steal my food, invade my house
you trip the trap
do as you please
ignore the cat
and take the cheese

The cat was stuffed
it did not purr
with button eyes
synthetic fur
Oh, but now
my puss is real
he's hungry for
his next cat meal

Clever, clever little mouse
you steal my food, invade my house
you may be cute
with your antics
but you've caused
the maid to panic

Clever, clever little mouse
you steal my food, invade my house
take my advice
your future's bleak
move to the church
just down the street.
