the new mouse

“Is this the right house?
Is this the right street?”
Said the mouse to the cat
When first they did meet.
“Mieow” said the cat
“Are you speaking to me?
Are you not afraid –
Why do you not flee?”
“Flee?” said the mouse
“Surely there’s nothing to fear,
I am very important
And I’m needed right here!”
Well, that cat was intrigued
He wished to know more
So he escorted that mouse
Right up to the door!
In through the cat-flap
Went that rodent commuter,
Then up unto the desk
Beside the computer!
“Ah! This IS the right street,
It IS the right house  -
The owner was right  -
She needs a new mouse!!!”
