A several verse limerick about the adventures of a snail, and a mouse. |
The Snail And The Mouse There once was a snail and a mouse, Who loved to play in the house, But the cat made it hard, Being always on guard, In a colorful Hawaiian blouse. One day they had a race, The winner would get to grace, The cover of mouse times, Or maybe snail slimes, Their favorite reading case. But that cat had other plans, He’d catch each in his hands, The mouse, a snack on the go The snail would be escargot, Broiled in his owner’s pans But the cat forgot one thing then That everyone needs a friend He was trapped by a dog In the yard, under a log It seemed this would be his end But the mouse and the snail saw this Knew it was a chance they couldn’t miss They’d rescue that old cat Even if he was quite fat And hopefully, he wouldn’t hiss So the mouse talked to his friend, the pig Who really was quite big, The pig charged with a roar, The dog was seen no more And the three of them danced a jig Then the cat, mouse, and snail were buds, Went out and drank a few suds They all got quite soused While out of the house With their drinks they had a few spuds The pig came round for a coke, And told a few raunchy jokes As he walked out the door, He turned round once more And said, “Th, th,,,, th, th,,,, th, that’s all folks!” Jim Dorrell 5/25/16 |
