A Louse of a Mouse

The Cat in the Hat came back a while ago
  But the costume he wore to vroom the pink snow
Made him look like an extra in a cheap minstrel show
  So that cat was pure toast; he just had to go... 

Little Bo Beep has been put to sleep
  Haven't you noticed? Not one black sheep
And Old King Cole, stripped of his royal role
  For culturally appropriating merry old 'soul'...

As for Rocky the Squirrel and His Friends
  They've met an untimely end
For mocking two good Communist spies              Boris and Natasha "Badenov"
  Rocky and Bullwinkle surely will die... 

With sorrow, I inform you of the demise
  Of Clark Kent, whom fans came to despise
For resisting the advances of one Lois Lane
  'Course had he succumbed, he'd have been killed just the same...

And shed no tears for the 'Mighty Mouse Playhouse'
  For 'Mighty' was a real louse of a mouse
He thought some characters good, others evil
  Thereby denying relativism -- How terribly medieval!
