Mouse in the Library
For R.C. my real-life library mouseI’m calm here and quiet
I just can’t deny it
It’s a great place to stay
When I’ve have a bad day
In books I escape
In a warm peaceful space
There’s a big fluffy rug
Like a comfortable hug
I ruffle the pages
And curl up for ages
I don’t make a sound
And there’s no one around
I sometimes stock shelves
if I need time by myself
when I’m not feeling great
I can get my head straight
I’m the library mouse
And here’s where I douse
Those sad angry thoughts
And find peace…Of course!
I just can’t deny it
It’s a great place to stay
When I’ve have a bad day
In books I escape
In a warm peaceful space
There’s a big fluffy rug
Like a comfortable hug
I ruffle the pages
And curl up for ages
I don’t make a sound
And there’s no one around
I sometimes stock shelves
if I need time by myself
when I’m not feeling great
I can get my head straight
I’m the library mouse
And here’s where I douse
Those sad angry thoughts
And find peace…Of course!
