Cat and Mouse
Pedro was a mouse
A mouse who didn't eat cheese
He would like to have a choice
Of anything he pleased
He was a Spanish mouse
You can tell that by his name
He liked all kinds of things
Not everything the same
He liked eating crumbs of bread
Found upon the floor
Sometimes he found a crumb of cake
And always looked for more
He was quite a greedy mouse
He lived in a mousey hole
He was also very lazy
In his chair, he loved to loll
In the house there also
Lived a cat
He was very skinny
And wearing a big hat
One day while out walking
And much to his surprise
The hat that was too large for him
Fell over this cat's eyes
The mouse was feeling hungry
And spied the skinny cat
The mousey licked his lips and said
I'd like a meal of that
The cat was now so blind
His hat covering his face
The mouse pounced on the cat
And ate him, every trace
The moral of this story
That cats usually eat mice
This mouse is very different
And ate this cat in a trice
It's not always the weakest
That succumb to the strong
This way of thinking
Can sometimes be proven wrong
