Hickory Dickory

Hickory dickory dock, the mouse got an electric shock Thought he would die but only his ears interlocked Could hear himself think His life on the blink Surgeon said try giving your head a real good bop

Always wondered — what's a dickory?//Sounds like a bit of trickery//Maybe a trap//With a hearty SNAP!//Closing on mouse full of cheese and old hickory. (wait, I think that's "Old Grandad" or maybe Jack Daniels?) BOP ON BIG BOPPER JACKSONITCHKA!!!

For some reason mice seem to be a delicacy for cats!!! Not for me... prefer rats with a side of ladybugs!!!
