Mousy Mouse

Mousy was a little mouse. He had a mousy tail. And Mousy had a giant friend named Francis. Who’s a whale! Now you might wonder how a mouse could be friends with a whale. Well, Mousy Mouse was a mouse And he knew how to sail! For Mousy was born on a sailing ship. Far, far out at sea. And having been born a sailor, What else could he be? The sailing ship was a mighty one ! With sails tall and white. And Mousy would stand on the deck And watch the stars at night. Now Francis was a great big whale Who came up once for air. He looked up at the ship and saw Mousy standing there. "Hi there little mouse! Ahoy!" Francis called up from the sea. "The waters great this time of night! Come down and swim with me!" "I'd love to swim with you great whale!" Mousy shouted out with glee. "My name sir, is Mousy Mouse" "And what might your name be?" "My name is Francis. Francis Whale Write! And now that you and I are friends, Come swim with me tonight!" "And so I shall!" cried Mousy. And he dove into the sea. They swam around for hours! It was quite a sight to see. They swam and swam and swam some more. Till Mousy finally said, "I really should get back on board. For I must go to bed! Then Francis sighed a little sigh And said "I understand. "But your down here while the decks up there! "I best give you a hand." So he sat little Mousy upon his giant tail, Gave it just a tiny flip And through the air he sailed! Mousy landed on the deck. As easy as you please. "Thank you!" cried out Mousy Mouse. "For swimming round with me!" Francis said “that’s quite all right, We must swim again someday!" And that’s how they became friends And still are to this day!
