| Once there was a big cat purring, All curled up on his big pillow He would close his eyes pretending to sleep, He would move his tail with a bored look. Once there was a tiny, tiny, tiny mouse That would pop his snout out of a little hole. He would disappear, pop out again And make a little cry before leaving. He came out of his hideout, ran across the carpet And was even afraid of his shadow. But on the way back he felt a big roar He saw two big eyes and a huge cat. He felt a great swipe on his little tail And he started to run, very frightened. And here stops the tale of my tiny mouse That would pop his snout out of a little hole. |
