Nice Mice |
|
|
A merry little band of mice (some sixty-six or seven) All died one day and straightaway Proceeded up to Heaven St. Peter proudly greeted them, "You've all been such good mice, We warmly welcome you and want To give you something nice. "What would you like?" The mice conferred Beneath the Pearly Gates, Then said, "St. Peter, if we could, We'd all like roller skates." "Of course," St. Peter sweetly smiled, "And then you can compete." He clapped his hands and instantly The skates were on their feet. So merrily the mice rolled round The avenues of Heaven Both day and night with great delight, All sixty-six or seven. But then one day a cat arrived To garner his just due; "You've been tiptop," St. Peter said, "What can we do for you?" "Why, not a thing!" the cat exclaimed, "I'm just so glad to be Up Here at last I'm sure that I'll Rejoice eternally." "Well said, well done," St. Peter beamed, "But please do let us know At any time if anything Seemed better Down Below." Next week the cat showed up again, Now sleek from head to heels, "I want to just express my thanks For all the Meals On Wheels." |
