The Mouse with the Hat

Once upon a time I saw a gentlemouse with a hat sublime. The richest mouse I’d ever seen, his hat a present from the queen He was quite close with the queen he said, now that the king, her husband was dead I have a secret he whispered with glee The queen has promised to marry me! The gorgeous hat he wore around was to be replaced by a crown. I was so surprised by this tawdry fact, I completely forgot to ask Was this a mouse queen of which I did not know? Or had Queen Elizabeth a mousey Beaux?
