The Christmas Mouse

 

A Christmas mouse

Came to our house,

Looking for crumbs

That clumsy thumbs

Had dropped on the floor.

Under the door

He quietly crept

And bits not swept

He nibbled and sniffed,

'A Christmas gift,'

Old Mousie thought

And went and brought

His relations and friends

To share the ends

Of our Christmas feast
