The Planet of the Mice
The Planet of the Mice
By Elton Camp
Imagine if mice should gain the upper hand
It’d be a world people wouldn’t think grand
Cheese would become the main food around
Only to bait mantraps would pizza be found
Lady mice would jump up onto a chair
And say, “Eeek, I see a person right there.”
Biped poison would be sold in the store
Where mouse killer had been before
Mice for the Ethical Treatment of Man
To eliminate glue traps does all that it can
And the device that moves the cursor about
Would be called a “human” without a doubt
Let’s hope we’re the most fit and will survive
And humankind, not mousedom, will thrive
