A VERY USEFUL MOUSE INDEED

By Josie Whitehead

Very Useful Mouse Indeed (A)

I am a mouse, it’s very true,
     But I don’t want your cheese.
I will not hide like other mice,
     And never carry fleas.
 
You’ll find me on the table top - 
    By master's side I'll stay.
I know he’d be quite sorry 
    If ever I should stray.

I am his friend, a pampered pet,
    Who’s not kept in a cage.
I proudly sit at human side
    And don’t cause fear or rage.
   
No one screams, no one shouts,
    And that which I like best
Is I’m not chased by horrid cats.
    I’m not furry like the rest!

Yes, I’m a mouse, it’s very true,
     And I work hard all day long.
Instead of feet I have a ball
    And a hand guides me along.

I know full well that I am loved 
     For I’m a special buddy,
I am the proud computer mouse
   Who lives inside the study.
