Mrs. Mouse has glasses
by R. L. KARLOWSKY
Mrs. Mouse was very distraught,
her glasses were missing, she simply forgot.
She looked in her pocket, her purse and her sweater,
I can’t believe I misplaced them, you’d think I knew better.
Mrs. Duck quacked along with her ducklings in tow,
what’s wrong Mrs. Mouse, why are you feeling so low?
I looked in my purse, my pocket and sweater,
I misplaced my glasses, you’d think I knew better.
Tell Mr. Owl he will make you new glasses,
I rang up his tree, he’s taking some classes.
I cannot read, I cannot sew,
I cannot even make, a cup of cocoa.
Mr. Turtle came along quiet and slow,
what’s wrong Mrs. Mouse, why are you feeling so low?
I looked in my purse, my pocket and sweater,
I misplaced my glasses, you’d think I knew better.
Tell Mr. Owl he will make you new glasses,
I rang up his tree, he’s taking some classes.
I cannot read, I cannot sew,
I cannot even make, a cup of cocoa.
When Mr. Peacock comes along, it’s always a show,
what’s wrong Mrs. Mouse, why are you feeling so low?
I looked in my purse, my pocket and sweater,
I misplaced my glasses, you’d think I knew better.
Tell Mr. Owl he will make you new glasses,
I rang up his tree, he’s taking some classes.
I cannot read, I cannot sew,
I cannot even make, a cup of cocoa.
Mrs. Mouse was very distraught,
her glasses were missing, she simply forgot.
With her favorite brush, she combed her hair,
the glasses fell out and onto a chair.
