Mouse and a Bale of Hay
You'll never guess what what I saw today,
A little mouse eating a bale of hay,
I said, "Mouse, what the heck you trying to do?"
Mouse said, "What business is it to you?"
I said, "Mouse there is no way you can eat it all."
Because that bale is so big and you are so small.
Mouse said, "You think you are so smart,
I'm going to eat this hay but this is just a start."
"I didn't say I'd eat it all in one day,"
"For this one big bale of hay."
"But I know what I can do."
"I'll finish this hay in day two."
The next day Mouse could barely talk,
Lying on his back for he couldn't walk,
His belly was swollen as big as a house,
All that hay was in that little mouse.
I said, "Mouse, how did you eat all that hay?"
He just had this to say,
"It was hard and took all night."
The secret he said was taking small bites!
