The Mouse With The Hat

There’s a hungry tabby cat on a very fluffy mat
And a tiny little mouse in the self same house
Well he’s hiding from the cat underneath a bowler hat
So he’s got a lot of nous… he’s a clever little mouse

It’s a made-for-humans hat so it’s too big for a cat
Even bigger for the mouse who had brought it to this house
It’s a little odd is that; he’s a mouse in a hat
But it’s better to be that… than a mouse in a cat

I agree with the message in the last two lines. Its a little odd for a mouse to be in a hat, but better than in a cat. Congratulations on your win in my contest.
