Cat and Mouse

Pedro was a mouse A mouse who didn't eat cheese He would like to have a choice Of anything he pleased He was a Spanish mouse You can tell that by his name He liked all kinds of things Not everything the same He liked eating crumbs of bread Found upon the floor Sometimes he found a crumb of cake And always looked for more He was quite a greedy mouse He lived in a mousey hole He was also very lazy In his chair, he loved to loll In the house there also Lived a cat He was very skinny And wearing a big hat One day while out walking And much to his surprise The hat that was too large for him Fell over this cat's eyes The mouse was feeling hungry And spied the skinny cat The mousey licked his lips and said I'd like a meal of that The cat was now so blind His hat covering his face The mouse pounced on the cat And ate him, every trace The moral of this story That cats usually eat mice This mouse is very different And ate this cat in a trice It's not always the weakest That succumb to the strong This way of thinking Can sometimes be proven wrong This is a poem that was on Poetry Soup previously
