Nibbles McCheesy

Nibbles McCheesy was ever so speedy And scampering all round the house Trojan the tabby was getting quite crabby For failing to capture that mouse That cowardy custard could not cut the mustard The mouse was too slippery for he In truth it was mainly and really quite plainly For fear that mouse might have a flea So Nibbles McCheesy would run around freely With Trojan in feigned hot pursuit But one day a dollar had bought a flea collar Which, being pink, looked rather cute This new situation meant self preservation Was not gonna hold Trojan back So Nibbles McCheesy found freedom less easy… …The front door was open a crack So Nibbles debated then negotiated The crack… to the world of ‘outside’ The front door shut tight; he was out for the night But then a free picnic he spied McCheesy’s a reader, he’s seen a bird feeder And knows they’re a banquet on tap He climbed the bird table fast as he was able The goldfinches got in a flap Twas only a minute and Nibbles was in it Snuck in through a hole in the side He ate all the seeds beyond all of his needs… “Help me, I’m stuck fast,” he cried Then Trojan stepped out, and he gazed all about He thought he should let Nibbles in But stuck in his tube, Nibbles asked for some lube And gave him his best cheesy grin
