Nibbles McCheesy
Nibbles McCheesy was ever so speedy
And scampering all round the house
Trojan the tabby was getting quite crabby
For failing to capture that mouse
That cowardy custard could not cut the mustard
The mouse was too slippery for he
In truth it was mainly and really quite plainly
For fear that mouse might have a flea
So Nibbles McCheesy would run around freely
With Trojan in feigned hot pursuit
But one day a dollar had bought a flea collar
Which, being pink, looked rather cute
This new situation meant self preservation
Was not gonna hold Trojan back
So Nibbles McCheesy found freedom less easy…
…The front door was open a crack
So Nibbles debated then negotiated
The crack… to the world of ‘outside’
The front door shut tight; he was out for the night
But then a free picnic he spied
McCheesy’s a reader, he’s seen a bird feeder
And knows they’re a banquet on tap
He climbed the bird table fast as he was able
The goldfinches got in a flap
Twas only a minute and Nibbles was in it
Snuck in through a hole in the side
He ate all the seeds beyond all of his needs…
“Help me, I’m stuck fast,” he cried
Then Trojan stepped out, and he gazed all about
He thought he should let Nibbles in
But stuck in his tube, Nibbles asked for some lube
And gave him his best cheesy grin
