A Mouse in My Roof
Richard Edwards, Venice
There's a mouse in my roof! cried Henry, "I'll never be able to sleep, When my weary eyes close and I'm ready to doze That mouse starts to scamper and creep, Or it gnaws at a beamWhile I'm starting to dream, Or it squeaks when I'm drifting away There's a mouse in my roof, there's a mouse in my roof!"Poor Henry, but what can you say?
