Count With the Raven Nursery Rhyme
one white mouse runs out of a hole,
two black mice run up a pole,
raven caw caws from a tree,
she says one and two make three,
mother mouse is at the door,
she takes the mouse count to four,
here comes big mouse daddy Clive,
he is fattest of the five,
aunt mousy now joins the mix,
her tail is longest of the six,
"caw caw" screams the black raven,
grandpa mouse makes it seven!”
grandma walks in at number eight,
Raven says "too many to fight"
"There are two more mice in the house,
Number nine and number ten mouse!"
Raven says as she flies away,
"I shall get you some other day!!"
