House for a Mouse

Scritch scratching straw bales seeking out a hollow house
Meticulously making observations for future references for this clever little mouse
In amongst the hay hemel high in the Farmer’s shed
“Would this hole amidst the hay be a safe haven for my cozy bed ?”

So flitting backwards and forwards most of the twighlight
she scuttles scattering her blades of straw
She’s got to get it right!!
Slithers of long tall shreds here and with spilnters of thredded wood
All through the darkness Mousey makes it good
Conscientiously crossing the t’s and dotting the i’s 
She listens to the Barn Owl shrieks and the Tawny Owls cries

Eventually and at last her job is done
Mousey has made her safe sanctuary 
Her battle is won!!
And what a marvellous house for a Mouse she has achieved
Other mice will have to see it to be believed
Feeling rather sleepy and extremely satisfied 
Mousey sneaks into her boudior to snooze and hide

But becareful little mousey whatever you do
There are predators up above in the rafters looking down on you
You heard the shrieks and the cries from the Owls nearby
They have their beady eyes on your tiny house and they can fly
Sleep in slumber until the morning is light
then peep out of your hole but time this right
Ooly Owls should be asleep
they have been awake all night
You will need a lot of luck to escape their sight
