Mice For a Very Good Price

I opened the door, Saw two nice mice, At Pete's Pet Store; For a very good price. I bought them that day, With money I had saved, Raking and hauling hay; For my neighbor, Mr. Dave. I purchased a bowl, Just for their food, And a bottle with a hole; For drinking water through. I named one Ice, He had clear blue eyes, The other, I named Spice; He was the smallest in size. Ice would take small bites, Of cheese and treats of rice, Spice made noise at night; Munching bread - I had sliced. I'll never forget the day, Mom said, "Look Price!" And lying in their hay; Were two bald baby mice.
