Little Tufty Dore Mouse. Little Tufty Dore Mouse lives on the Butlers farm. He spends his day a scurrying between the house and barn. But Mr Butler farmer got tired of Tufty's mess. So he got himself a big black cat and named his black cat Bess. Now Bess your jobs to catch Tufty Mouse and send him on his way, cause I'm tired of the mess he leaves when he drops by every day. Now Bess, I don't want you to kill him or even cause him harm. He's just a little Dore Mouse who leaves a mess upon my farm. The only problem with Tufty Mouse is the mess he leaves behind so when you catch Tufty, Bess remember to be kind. Tell him he must leave the farm and find himself a home, where no-one else minds the mess where ever he may roam. So Bess, she lays in wait to pounce and catch this Tufty Mouse. It's not long before she catches him and says, Tufty leave this house. Cause him indoors gave me the job, by the way he calls me Bess. So Little Tufty Dore Mouse say that you will go and farmer sees me being kind. If I have to catch you again it won't be kindness I'll have in mind. So Little Tufty Dore Mouse said with a little squeak, but Bessy I've been messy cause I've been moving out all week.

That twist at the end did me a double-take. This poem is...(I don't have the word for what I want to say). It's a really fun story. Thank you for sharing this poem, Patricia.
