The Mick and Me

Today, my wife kicked me out of the house.
On the park bench next to me - Mickey Mouse. 
It seems that his pretty wife, Minnie,
called him a no-count, lazy ninny.    
He was a star, achieved all his wishes, 
but he was laid low by dirty dishes.

Oops, you made me just realize that Mickey's wife was Minnie, not Daisy. Daisy is a duck. Oh man! What do you do when you discover an error like this? I'll look sideways and start whistling - see how that goes? It's good that a grounded mouse wife like "Daisy" can keep Mickey real. Wait - I see how I can change it to "Minnie".

Yep, Mickey's been hitting the sauce, and Daisy's seen all over town with the likes of Goofy, Dumbo, and Claribel the Cow!
