little itchy mousies

hist whist
e.e.cummings

hist whist
little ghost things
tip-toe
twinkle toe

witches and tingling
goblins
hob-a-nob hob-a-nob

little hoppy happy
toad in tweeds
tweeds
little itchy mousies

with scuttling
eyes rustle and run and
hidehidehide

whisk look out for the old woman
with the wart on her nose
what she'll do to yer
nobody knows

for she knows the devil ooch
the devil ouch
the devil
ach the great

green
dancing
devil
devil

devil
devil

wheeEEE

I ran across this poem on a mouse website I greatly admire, and consult on a regular basis, for information on our furry little friends. I also happen to love the writings of e.e. cummings. Discovering that cummings had written a poem mentioning mice was a wonderful find!
