A poetic take on the mouse in Hickory Dickory Dock by inky
Hiding around in the Grandfather clock
wasn’t such a great idea
for rather acting o so meek
and keeping from furry paws that did seek
after hanging off the pendulum for seven days
he thought he’d keep busy in other ways
saving himself some time
and distracting himself from that noisy chime
he scampered down the chains so fast
he attracted all the housekeepers cats
and after some paw swipes
breathing his last
