Missing
Has
anybody
seen
my
mouse?
I
opened
his
box
for
half
a
minute,
Just
to
make
sure
he
was
really
in
it,
And
while
I
was
looking,
he
jumped
outside!
I
tried
to
catch
him,
I
tried,
I
tried….
I
think
he's
somewhere
about
the
house.
Has
anyone
seen
my
mouse?
Uncle
John,
have
you
seen
my
mouse?
Just
a
small
sort
of
mouse,
a
dear
little
brown
one,
He
came
from
the
country,
he
wasn't
a
town
one,
So
he'll
feel
all
lonely
in
a
London
street;
Why,
what
could
he
possibly
find
to
eat?
He
must
be
somewhere.
I'll
ask
Aunt
Rose:
Have
you
seen
a
mouse
with
a
woffelly
nose?
He's
just
got
out…
Hasn't
anybody
seen
my
mouse?
