The Smallest Mouse

The smallest mouse.  Lived in the the tallest house.

The tallest house.  Sat on the biggest hill.

The biggest hill.  Was in the largest town.

The largest town.  Was in the widest country.

The widest country. Was in the roughest world.

The roughest world.  Revolved around the sun.

The sun shown down through a little crack on the smallest mouse.  The smallest mouse ate the cheese from the baited trap.

The smallest mouse without worry or fear climbed a table and looked in a mirror.

To his amazement he saw

What looked like a claw

But the cat in the story is not near.

The smallest mouse with the largest of tails

had paws on his feet without any nails

Though he could climb any table

and if he was not able

he would run up the stairs and jump from the rails.

the smallest mouse never went without eating

though his appetite for cheese was not just fleeting

he discovered the traps

and in between naps

when the cat was done eating he would wait for it to be sleeping.
