Of Mice and Manners

Back to real animals! Even the pipsqueaks!

Mice, Mice

Mice are just not very special creatures; 

they're tiny balls of grey paper mache. 

They lack therefore truly special features.

They look the same if good, if bad, each day.  

Their faces are too small for emotion. 

"They're mousey-faced," you might adjudge outright. 

They retain at most a half a notion, 

and bare their teeth and threaten then to bite.

What animal comes next? Rats! I can't remember. . .
