The Mouse With the Hat

he wore a tiny boater hat, my mouse who played guitar, and patrons at the local pub cheered, "wow, you've got a star!" but then some talent-scout came in while mouse strummed on the bar … "because he cannot sing," he groused, "he'll never make it far."

Congratulations. The mouse has me beat. I don't play the guitar or sing.

Hmmm… plays guitar and can’t sing… was his name Ed Sheeran (watch that upset the apple cart). Who needs talent scouts anyway. A fun win, David. Congrats

Thanks, Terry. Plays guitar but can't sing perhaps includes any number of "entertainers" nowadays. Thanks again.
