There's a Mouse in the House
There’s a mouse in the house. How can I tell?
He’s eaten the cheese and the biscuits as well. He’s cleared out the fridge, the cupboard is bare, But does he feel guilty? A mouse doesn’t care. There’s a mouse in the house. He slams every door. At night he goes skateboarding over my floor. And then when he stops, there isn’t a break, His rapping and dancing still keeps me awake. There’s a mouse in the house and I’m getting upset. It isn’t as if he behaves like a pet. He watches TV and uses my phone And washes his socks in my eau de cologne. There’s a mouse in the house, at least for this week Then after that time I won’t hear a squeak. He’ll leave in a hurry in five seconds flat For early on Monday I’m getting a cat. |
My FeetMy feet grow tired of waiting,
just lying on the floor. They fall asleep like all feet do except mine tend to snore. Non-Sleepy SheepIf a young sheep
can't go to sleep and lies wide awake in its bed, it closes its eyes, relaxes and tries to count jumping people instead. |
