A little mouse would run all around, <br />Searching for food that was on the ground. <br /> <br />A cat was always waiting there, <br />Because his food he would not share. <br /> <br />The mouse went running across the floor, <br />The cat had chased him right out the door. <br /> <br />The mouse was looking for a bite to eat, <br />And the cat was too quick on his feet. <br /> <br />He chased him as they knocked over chairs, <br />And even up and down the stairs. <br /> <br />As they ran up and down the halls, <br />The cat would smack into the walls. <br /> <br />The cat had chased him around the house, <br />But he could not catch the little mouse. <br /> <br />The mouse ran back into his little hole, <br />And the cat could not reach his goal. <br /> <br />The mouse was able to get away, <br />So the cat will try another day.<br /><br />Jon M.
