Now I wonder if all this,

             Is as true as made out to be;

             For in my house I have seven mice,

             And all do wander here carefree.





             I feed them myself so often,

             With bits of food meant for me;

             Releasing them from our traps,


             As they look on pleadingly.




             My town mice seem happy enough,


             To put a rural one to shame;

             Rotund little    glistening bods,                                                 rotund : plump
                                                                                               glistening : shining
             Twitching whiskers as we play our game.
                                                                                               bods : bodies
