Vintage Limerick - There Once Was A Cat And A Mouse

There once was a cat and a mouse
Who ran all the way 'round the house
First the mouse 'twas that led
Then the cat got ahead
But the head was that of the mouse.

If You Are The Parent Of A Mouse, You Must Heed This Advice

When you hear the barn owl screech
Keep all your babes out of reach
"Death from the sky
Is ever nearby."
Is the lesson, in mouse school, they teach.

Mouse in Stew Limerick

A man who was dining at Crewe,

Found quite a large mouse in his stew,

Said the waiter, "Don't shout!

And wave it about,

Or the rest will be wanting one too."
