*** This poem is most suited to being sung to a little tune that you make up. I have my own. I don’t know how to write music or it would be included here. But then, if that were the case, you wouldn’t have need of making up your own tune. Have fun! ***
He killed a mouse
was in our house.
He killed a mouse
was in our house
’cause he’s a big cat!
He chased it off the mantle
and across the living room,
then pursued it down the hall
into the den . . . when . . .
He killed the mouse
was in our house.
He killed the mouse
was in our house
’cause he’s a big cat!
Tho’ he’s sometimes very shy
when you look him in the eye,
and if you meet him on the street
he’ll beat a hasty mad retreat.
But if a mouse
gets in the house,
if a mouse
gets in the house
he will kill it happily.
‘Cause he’s a Big Cat!
Simon Alistair the Big Cat!
