Garrick Tremain - THE MOUSE

THE MOUSE

Gallery: Book of Nursery Rhymes |

The biggest nuisance in a house
is the smallest occupant, a mouse
every goddamned thing he chews
and dots the shelves with tiny poos.

We've got one, precious little chap,
at least he would be in a trap,
but from the trap the cheese he'll scoff
without the damned thing going off.

One thing I really wish is that
we had a ghastly bloody cat
to disembowel him with a claw
and smear his giblets 'round the floor.

I blocked his hole up, just for spite,
jammed it up with gum real tight,
it's hardly cramped his style one bit
but he walks peculiar and can't sit.
