There was a cat and a mouse They resided in a house The cat was cavalier While the mouse lived in fear So the mouse asked the cat "How can I be like that?" So the cat said in distaste "You must know your place" So the mouse said to the cat "Don't talk to me like that! I shall stand tall This mouse is not small! We work for you all day Without any pay! Just so that we can survive Don't treat me that way." The mouse said "without a chance I'll upset your balance You need us to get by You need us to thrive." And the cat said with a grin "There's no way you can win You're just a mouse A good for nothing mouse." So the mouse said to the cat "Don't talk to me like that! I'm not your object I'm a mouse! We work for you all day Without any pay! Just so that you can thrive Don't treat us that way We'll make you pay." The cat said "you can't be king." And the mouse said, "the hell with kings We shall make a land where all creatures shall stand tall No creature seen as small." So the mouse built an army The cats found this alarming And they said, "come one, bring it on You mice are so small." So the mouse said to the cat "Don't talk to us like that! We shall stand tall These mice are not small! We work for you all day Without any pay! Just so that you can thrive Don't treat us this way We'll make you pay." So the war began And the mouse stabbed the cat He stabbed him in his back The blood fell down the ground The mouse is standing proud But the mouse became sad, Cats were killing all his comrades As the mouse drew his dagger He tripped o'er a ladder And fell down a sink He began drowning very quick They all watched him drown and sink and die The mouse did not come up alive His last words were, "Mice you shall prevail, Although I have failed We'll always stand strong We are mice after all." So the mice said to the cat "Don't talk to us like that! We aren't your objects We are mice! We work for you all day Without any pay! Just so that you can thrive Don't treat us this way We'll make you pay Someday"
