Mic-Key M-O-U-S-E

A man named Disney drew a mouse named Mickey
Now Disney's gone, but Mickey still goes strong
In cartoons and parks from Spain to New York City

Across the globe all kids can sing his song
A melody you simply can't get wrong

Though Disney only lived to sixty-five
That mouse he drew is very much alive

G'day Gershon … Micky is an immortal and as a kid I adored the cartoons with him starring and I would never miss the Mickey Mouse Club - thanks for bringing up the memories Gershon - Lindsay

Hey, hey. I used to watch it every day for a few years as well... Many of its 'starts' are gone now... As the world turns. Thanks for the feedback, Lindsay. Best wishes, gw

Me, too. Mickey Mouse is pretty hard not to like, I guess...

Mickey certainly is famous, although c-o-m-p-u-t-e-r mouse is perhaps more ubiquitous these days. LOL. ;) gw
