A bouncing mouse is in my house,
It’s been here for a week.
It bounced from out of nowhere.
Then quickly settled in.
I’m grateful that it came alone---
(I’ve heard it has a twin)
It bounces in the kitchen,
It bounces in the den.
It bounces through the living room--
Look! There it goes again.

To my toe that little flea.
GOTCHA!!
