Mousies Running Wild

There's a bunch of furry animals Running around our house Cats and dogs and ferrets And even a little mouse! Now Mom and Dad aren't happy With mousies running wild But we sure love our furry friend He brings us lots of smiles! He plays a pretty fine fiddle That big folks cannot hear Unaware of those happy tunes Dancing in their ears! I've named him Happy Herbie He brings me so much joy It's hard to think he's really real He seems like just a toy! Don't think I want to grow up And lose this special gift Seeing things through little eyes In dreamland I'm adrift! ©Jack Ellison 2012

I love your playful poetry, Jack. These would be great fun read to with children in particular. Happy Herbie, that's cute! "Seeing things through little eyes In dreamland I'm adrift!" Those last two lines are gold! Always, Laura
