-----------------------------------

 

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.
