The Mouse in the House

Is there a mouse in your house

Is there a house in your mouse?

What does it mean a house with no mouse

Can it mean the mouse has no house?

Let us think of a really big house

Let us think of our favorite house.

Let us fill the house with so many mice

Wouldn’t a house with many mice be nice?

What could all the many mice be doing

What would these really important mice be brewing?

Could it be that they all worked for us

Could it be that they all made such a fuss?

What if the mice named just one mouse

To be number one; the really main mouse.

Could it be that the main mouse was bright

Could it be that the main mouse was always right?

Of course it could be it’s simple to see

Then that main mouse could make history.

That main mouse of ours may be so very smart

All would try to capture the main mouse's heart.

We would come from many miles around

We would worship this mouse's very ground.

All would be well in this our nice house

All would be well because of this one mouse.

So you can see just how happy we are

We wrote this poem and spread it so far.

We want all to know what is so very true

Except for one thing; our main mouse has no clue.

When this new main mouse got to the house

He found all these droppings from the last mouse.
He was so surprised at what he did find
Made some folks wonder where was his mind?

He said spend money that is the way
He said spend money so what if we can't pay.
He said spending will create all these jobs
But now all we hear are more and more sobs.

It’s not my fault he says east and west
We didn’t create any of this mess.
We are so smart we are so true
Follow us like smoke as it goes up the flue.

Now we don’t like the mouse in the house

We think this mouse is rather the louse.

Now we are not sure just what to do

We are wondering what can anyone do?

Should we sit at home and just wait it out

Hoping for change and a reason to shout.

Of course we can and that’s what we’ll do

We will hope for change that is long overdue.

Then all will be well in the house with no mouse

All will be best for the mouse with no house.

See how hope can solve our quest

See how hoping can be for the best.

All that one really needs to do

Is just wait for a year, maybe two.

Change will come and bring good things

Change will come to mice and kings.

Then all will be well in this land of ours

Peace in the valley; gone our sorrows.

Hope springs eternal; we’re fiscally sound

Jobs for all; spreading the wealth around.

Wait for a year; wait for two

Let’s not make change that is long overdue.

Were on the right track; that we must know

Soon we’ll be able to reap what we sow.

We are so pleased to have mice so smart

We know it’s best to just play our part.

Don’t vote for change; no don’t take a chance

No change for us; we're not Greece or France.

Now we at least know what lies in store

Much of the same; just more and more.

Now we are happy and full of glee

Two more years of repeat history.

We know this mouse that’s in our house

We know it’s better to not change this louse.

Better to keep him and his friends around

At least we know now what will abound.

Now we are happy and so full of glee

No change for us; not for you; not for me.

More of the same, year after year

More of the same; please stand up and cheer.
