Mouse!
...come out, dear Mouse
from that hole you hide in;
come out and talk with me awhile,
for I have no freinds...
And merriment with thee
seems now so nice,
and I am so lonely!
(sweet mouse...)

(Tender mouse,)
come out, Mouse, from your
house;
I have no claws for thee,
cut off, alas!
Not that I would use them
so, to swipe at thee as
you peek out...

My tail swishes
but take no heed,
'tis not for thee
'tis just my way, you see,
to welcome such as thee
to parley a while with me.

Alas! Sweet Mouse
will you ignore me so?
Me, who had done no
harm to thee?
Surely you have a heart of stone,
fat, tender mouse.

haveta chuckle...

I've seen the shadow of that paw, m'self.

This reminded me much of Lewis Carroll in essence and style. Enjoyed.
