The Cat Without a Mouse
The mouse ran through the house through a hole in the wall
while the cat lay sleeping down the hall.
cheese his favorite he could not find,
sculling along squeaking while wiggling his behind.
A cat, a cat he sees chasing him down the hall,
Laughter and an uproar with echos off the wall.
This little mouse still running through the house,
As the cat meowed with his speed like lightning
The mouse ran up the chain of a cuckoo clock,
His tinny paw stuck in the middle hanging in pain.
The cat below meowed, I have got you now,
then clock struck 12 moving the chain.
The tiny mouse was taken to the top,
untangling his paw from the cuckoo clock.
He sat atop with two teeth smiling then said,
today you are a cat,
Without a mouse atop this cuckoo clock
