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

Thanks. It is a bit dangerous to write something that assumes knowledge of an inane series of movies, but I decided to take the chance. Elton
