Lady, Lion, and Deep Blue Mouse

The lady, the lion, and the deep blue mouse. Yes, it was a sultry day, a sunny day, an s type of day. The lady wore a pleated skirt that showed her legs off like an open house. The deep blue mouse was jolly, upbeat, excited, happy and gay. The villain of the story was a gray cat, an ugly cat, a cat with mange. This cat was 9 foot tall, 453 pounds, and thought she was all of that. Some called her sassy, others used rotund, I only knew her a second, and I called her strange. This darling story is set in Oxford, Texas, a town full of balls, but only one bat. It's a simple tale, a wives tale, a Chestnut eve tale, this tale of woe. The lady was not whom she seemed; she asked that we call her Racko, but her name was Lou. She had hidden deep blue mouse in her pocket, after plying him with dough. Yes, my readers, you have guessed it, mouse was out, and did not know Lou intended to put him in the large, corpulent tooth-filled mouth of Strange Cat. She wanted blue mouse gone, for her daughter had fallen in love with Blue, and it made her mad. Not the angry kind of mad, but the "I am certifiable and should be President" sort of mad, right McGirt? The lion was Blue Mouse's best friend, and he had telepathy, so he knew what he needed to do. He put Blue Mouse safely aside, and ate up the lady, but he spit out the pleated skirt.
