Hickory, Dickory, Dock Parady

Hickory, dickory, dock. The mouse ran up the clock. The clock struck nine, It was past the deadline! He missed an interview, the job fell through. He fell sadly to his knees, no paycheck – no cheese.

I really enjoyed this read about the mouse who procrastinated, to bad, perhaps the next time the mouse will hustle a little more. Congrats on your win in my contest.
