          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.
