Elephant Married a Mouse

Did you hear elephant married a mouse?
They live in a most unusual house,
She comes in through an overhead door,
He enters by a hole in the floor,
Her bed is as big as a tree,
His bed is as small as it can be,
He climbs a ladder to give her a kiss,
And you wont believe their grocery list,
He eats a few seeds every day,
While she gobbles down bales of hay,
He's learned not to get under her feet,
And she doesn't sit on his seat,
To them these are just trivial things,
Because of the happiness their love brings,
He doesn't see her big nor she his tiny,
They are so in love as they can be.
