Four Mice

Four mice were hungry what to do
One said, "That trap cheese I will chew!"
"I'll get that cheese with no mishap!"
"Like this I'll run up and....." SNAP!

Three starving mice sure miss their bro
One said, "To me, he seemed real slow."
He said, "Watch me raid that little trap!"
"I'm fast, it's easy if I..." SNAP!

Two famished mice now feeling sick
What should they do? What is the trick?
One said be sneaky like their Pap
He quietly sneaked up and SNAP!

One lonely mouse is half dead
Because he was a clever chap
"Now I see the problem!", he said
"We should not have reset the Trap!"
