A Silly Little Ditty -- Mice and Cheese

Mice and cheese

Are a blessing indeed!

Mice burrow in soil,

Foraging,

Planting the seed.

The seed will grow

Into food we need.

Aerating plants,

Making a home for ants.

They also serve

As a meal as well—

Food for foxes,

Snakes, and owls.

It seems there’s always

Someone on the prowl!

And mice are pets,

Social and clean,

With furry whiskers,

Though rarely seen.

Feed your little mouse

Some cheese:

By and by,

All will be pleased.
