Cordon-Blah

She did have a pearl of great price
But it was swallowed by some mice
She fed them some cheese
Inside her deep freeze
So what you just ate was not rice

Rico, I didn’t see that coming. Woke the pups with my laughing. I actually moved out of Chicago when mice moved into our apartment! There only good inside the lines in a sketchbook. :) wishing you Merry Christmas!

On the first day back to work after the Christmas break, a typist complained her new electric IBM typewriter would not work. When I opened it up, the keys were restrained by a nest of mice and the typists scattered faster than the mice . . . . .
