Funny Poems for Children

ODE TO THE COMPUTER MOUSE
By Josie Whitehead
I’m not the *timorous tiny beastie
Who runs away and hides,
But a plastic shelled, hard-working mouse
Who’s sitting by man’s side.
I do not need your bread and cheese
To keep me fit and well
Or, as other mice, search round to find
A home in which to dwell.
I’ve often heard it plainly said
That dog is man’s best friend,
But surely this cannot be true.
I get the time he spends.
A man and mouse so truly bound
Is beyond all comprehension,
For his cat or dog would feel quite proud
To get so much attention.

* timorous: showing or suffering from nervousness or a lack of confidence
- - - ODE TO A MOUSE - Robert Burns
​
Wee, sleekit, cowran, tim'rous beastie,
O, what a panic's in thy breastie!
Thou need na start awa sae hasty,
Wi' bickering brattle!
I wad be laith to rin an' chase thee,
Wi' murd'ring pattle!
