| Morag
the wee Mousie
(In Scotland we have
a lot of words that are a little different from yours and we call
a mouse "mousie"
[moosy] and we call a house "housie" I'll also tell you that
Morag has two babies
who are called Penelope and Peter)
Morag was a
wee mousie
Who lived inside
a big housie
She had two little
babies to feed
And today, she decided
to teach them how to succeed.
She told them, to
be ever so careful
To follow her,
and hold on to her tail.
Because, they were
going to go into the kitchen
Where the big people
lived .....ohhh! Penelope was twitching.
"Hold onto my tail
and don't ever let go or stop" said Morag
We'll look for food
which the big people drop.
Bread and cakes
and even cheese
Now, here's the
hole that leads us around the deep freeze.
They clambered through
and out the other side
"My, It's sooo B
I G and B r i g h t ,"they cried.
Penelope and Peter
were shaking
As the two babies
held their mother's tail they were quaking.
Peter said, "I
I I 'm scared."
But Penelope just
stood with open eyes and stared.
Because out from
the corner came a great, big, black cat
He was hissing and
he was mean and his eyes were green.
He leaped across
the floor to pounce on mousie
But she held up
her foot to stop this big pussy.
The cat screeched
to a halt right at wee Morag's face.
Oh my goodness I
cannae look at what's aboot to take place.
With all her might,
Morag let out the biggest, loudest bark
The cat shrieked.
His eyes popped and he skedaddled with an exclamation mark.
Penelope & Peter
gave a huge sigh of relief.
For they had expected
to feel so much grief.
If the cat had caught
Morag whatever would they do?
Without a mummy
to look after them, they'd sure be in a stew.
Now, here's a wee
secret that I'll tell you with a grin
Morag learned something
that saved her mousie skin
That, if you can
speak two languages, (like squeak and bark)
You'll go much farther
in this world, and ye'll no' be in the dark.
