Show me the Cheese

 

There was a bird upon the bench

without a hammer, without a wrench

said he knew a carpenter mouse

for a bite of cheese

would build him a house,

Without a nail or any glue

the mouse he knew

just what to do,

"There will be a porch

and a backyard swing

and an inside shower

should you want to sing,

bur Mr. Crow they'll be no roof

until there's cheese

I need some proof."

"I haven't got your cheese as yet,

but I've seen some cheddar

I can get."

"I've dealt with Crows like you before,

you promise me someday you'll pay

I build your walls and add a door

then you up and fly away."

"Trust me, you will have your cheese

I'll bring so much that you'll get fat,

I have one more addition please,

I'd like a fancy Welcome Mat."
