Question: When I was wee, was mouses three, Herman, Melvin and Joe!. Now, there is only one!. Have you heard the stories!?
*****
LEGENDS OF THE HOLE

Little Joe,
pussycat foe,
legendary mouse of
stories old,

He ran, mostly quicker,
past mousetrap and fish-licker,
Bringing cheese to please,
so the story goes…

Brave and gray,
tail swayed,

Biscuit waiting
for the taking,

Whiskers twitching,
noses itching,

Him and cat,
in battle pitching,

Through the night,
a gruesome fright,

Mouse and louse,
all through the house,

But, with sun,
when day’s begun,
a cheer rings out,
It’s Joe has won!
