Mouse In The House

There's a mouse in the house
says my cranky ol' spouse
she's causing quite a fuss
sneaky lil' thing
slipped inside
found a place to hide

She's driving the ol' man crazy
think i'll call her Mazey
she scared the Tom across the street
funniest thing i ever seen

Saw her in the kitchen one day
as she came out to play
offered her a piece of meat
she said she'd prefer
a big red beet

Looked at her, my eyes crazed
she laughed, "Dont look so amazed"
glared at me with those beaty eyes
and twitched, "I fear i have a very bad itch"

"For the Jack next door
Him, i can't get enough,
i need more!
That rabbit is my bad habit
I just dig that furry bunny
and aim to make him my hunny"

I thought it hilarious
when she asked,
"Will you marry us?"
They made thier home out back
it was all really "whack"
Those two are quite a pair
wonder what kind of children
they will bear?
