My Mouse

I had a mouse, he was so sweet!! cheese was his favorite thing to eat I played with him all day and night I never let him out of sight We used to have so much fun I'd let him out and boy! could he run!! When everything was going so well Something happened, so sad to tell My little sweet mouse had escaped from his house!!!!! I searched for him, high and low But no matter what, he wouldn't show And when I gave up, I finally saw... His little body dead on the floor. I picked him up and cried and cried Why did my mousie have to die??? The cat next door was smiling with glee she didn't care what she'd done to me!!! My little mouse, my best friend.... All our fun had gone to an end.
