Hickory Dickory Dock

Hickory Dickory Dock,
The mouse hushed up the clock.
But Cuckoo caught him by his tail,
Now mouse is serving time in jail.
Until once more the clock will chime, 
And with both hands, the march of time
Then mouse might leave his prison cell,
However, only time will tell.
When parole, could be his saviour,
Quick release, for good behaviour.

Hello George. I was surfing around tonight and came across your poem. It's title attracted me as a former kindergarten teacher, making me laugh outloud. What's "good behaviour" for a mouse? No stealing the cheese? Tsk, tsk little MOUSE. Best be good or it's back to the BIG HOUSE!
