                I’m not the timorous little beastie who runs away and hides -

                Just a brittle shelled, hard working mouse sitting by man’s side.

                  I do not need your bread and cheese to keep me fit and well.

                  Or, as other mice, search round to find a home in which to dwell.

                 

                 

                I’ve often heard it plainly said that a dog is man’s best friend -

                But how can this be true for I get all the time my master spends?

                   A man and mouse so bound together is beyond all comprehension.

                   For his cat or dog would be in heaven to get so much attention.
