Nine Mice c—(e--i--y) Nine mice on tiny tricycles went riding on the ice, they rode in spite of warning signs, they rode despite advice. The signs were right, the ice was thin, in half a trice, the mice fell in, and from their chins down to their toes, those mice entirely froze. Nine mindless mice, who paid the price, are thawing slowly by the ice, still sitting on their tricycles …nine white and shiny micicles! Jack Prelutsky Return to menu

But if Gertie gags her giggles, Then her goggles never jiggle. No more wiggling. No more woggling. No more goggles joggling off. Lucinda Cave Return to menu
