A Game of Cat and Mouse

Oh my goodness! Did you see that???
A mousey riding on the back of a cat

Guess these guys have kissed and made up
Heard mousey yell “Hey! Giddy-up!”

Great to see them getting along so well
Mousey's relieved, as you probably can tell

Wearing a big grin from ear to ear
And Felix is enjoying it too, it appears

Remember this lesson from one time rivals
Really don't need conflict for survival

It's a whole lot better to laugh and have fun
Than face extinction at the point of a gun

So what did you learn from this little tale?
Enjoy yourself and drink lots of ale

You'll see little mousies and cats at play
Instead of killings on TV every day!
