Caren Krutsinger Poet Rhyme

Christmas Mouse Wants To Be An Ornament

I want to be an ornament when I grow up the mouse said.
Did he want to be on the side of green or red?
Holly voted for green Santa wanted him on his team.
The relatives laughed; grandma said that would be a pipe dream.

What if I just hung out in the tree and did not take sides at all?
He hung out happily in a Christmas tree shopping mall.
The youngster was wise, the oldsters in the family said.
For not choosing green and not choosing red.

L Milton Hankins December 15, 2021 at 8:22 PM Caren, have you ever seen a baby mouse? I have to admit that I don't like mice, but I'm telling you a baby mouse is just as cute as can be. Your poem brought this to mind. Caren Krutsinger December 16, 2021 at 6:15 AM I saw a toddler mouse once nibbling on cat chow; it was adorable! I was fascinated by the tiny paws and the nibbling mouth.
