          Although I am a mouse, it’s true –

            I don’t want bread and cheese.

          I don’t run and hide as other mice

            But can go freely as I please.

           

          You’ll find me on the table top,

            And with my master I will stay.

          And I know he’d be quite sorry

            If he found that I had strayed.

           

          Although I am a mouse, it’s true

            I’m not locked in a cage.

          When people see me in their home

            They don’t get in a rage.

           

          No-one screams, no-one shouts

            And one thing which I like best –

          I’m never chased by horrid cats

             For I’m not furry like the rest.

           

          Although I am a mouse, it’s true

            I’m with my master all day long.

          I don’t have feet but a little ball

            And a hand guides me along.

           

          Although I am a mouse, it’s true

            I’m a very special buddy.

          I’m just his little servant mouse

            And you’ll find me in his study.

           

          I think by now you’ll surely know

            What part I have to play –

          For I sit quietly by his computer

            And that’s exactly where I’ll stay!
