I LIKE MICE

I like mice
Mice are nice
I had mice
When I was young and nice.
I raised baby mice
Baby mice are nice
The pet shop bought my young and nice mice.
I went to visit my pet shop mice
I did not spy my nice baby mice
They told me a snake ate my nice baby mice.
I still liked the nice mice
So I quit raising baby mice
To feed the snake my young and nice mice.

This poem is a true story. I raised some baby mice when I was in 6th grade and after I sold the third litter of beautiful baby mice to the pet store they told me they sold them to people to feed their snakes. I quit raising mice as soon as I found that out. I was in grade school at the time.  I wrote the poem yesterday after I remembered the mice I had for pets and why I quit raising them.

My kitten sleeping in the empty fish bowl that was on top of the mouse cage to keep the cat from visiting the mice! I was 13, these mice were the ones that I kept for pets after I found out the pet shop was selling my babies for snake food!
