The Computer Mouse's Itch

The computer mouse was napping one afternoon,

When he jumped up with a start - it would be teatime soon !

The reason the mouse awoke with such a sudden start,

Was an urge to scratch - could it be leftover crumbs when he'd eaten that tart ?

The computer mouse was in a bit of a pickle ...

He couldn't quite reach beneath to tickle

Computer mice, as you know, dont wear a stitch...

So it was not a woolly jumper that caused the troublesome itch ....

In a bit of bother, he squeaked to his brother...

But before long he was itching too with another !

The pair of them rolled around,

Covered in dust and leaves from the ground !

They twisted and turned ...

Their stomachs churned...

They scratched so much even the mousepad burned !

The computer mouse wriggled a bit....too restless to sit...finally got a back scratcher and that was a hit!

Eventually, the problem was easy to see...

The computer mouse jumped about - and out popped a flea !

The flea of course who was rather shocked, indeed,

Headed across the rug at considerable speed !

Off it hopped...into the bin it popped,

Until by the side of the photocopier it eventually stopped !

In delight, the flea leapt up and down

Excited to be free at last then bounced off into town !
