On Christmas Eve, that regular quiet mouse-
Decided to make a lot of noise, throughout the house.
.
First he ran and chewed and caused a stir-
With that recently read newspaper.
.
And, then he decided to hunt, for the sugar bowl-
He knocked off the top, and ate heartily, as was his goal.
.
He then went into the bathroom, with all of that tissue, at hand-
He dragged it this way, and then he dragged it that way, nowhere
near the wastepaper can.
.
It was getting late, and he knew that Santa Claus was about to come-
But, first he had to try out his green thumb.
.
He dug into the huge plant, by the window-
And, then onto the window sill, he did go.
.
He heard bells, and other stuff, and he knew
that out of time, he had run-
To scurry, hurry, he needed to get things
cleaned up, for it quickly had to be done.
.
And, when he was finished he closed his
eyes-
Hoping that Santa Claus would leave him
something, like one big surprise.
.
