The Poem of the Words: Mouse and House

If I was a mouse,
I would live in a house.
I would move like a mouse
In a very big house.
But a cat would eat me
If I were a mouse.
And then, I'll never again
See the house.
So I do want to live in a house.
But I don't want to be a mouse.

--Danny Zeff, late 1990s
