When I was working I had plans to do so many things when I retired. But you know, I don’t want to iron any more than I did when I was working!

About Me
- Hugh Mouse
- A MOUSE IN THE HOUSE My name is Hugh. I am a mouse. I live in George and Maggie’s house. At half-past twelve, when they’re asleep, I scamper ‘round without a peep. I look for crumbs of bread or cheese, But two BIG dogs get most of these. So then I chew the “news” instead And carry shreds back to my bed. I nest downstairs where it is cool. (I sometimes sit on Maggie’s stool.) She likes to sketch with pen and ink. She often draws cute mice, I think. Perhaps, someday, when we are friends I’ll pose for her until she spends A lot of time with only me. And what a treasure I will be, ‘Cause I won’t bark! And I won’t tweet Like Henderson, their parakeet. I’ll tiptoe softly ‘round the house ‘Cause, after all, I am a mouse!
