I had a mouse called Hungry Pete
Who liked to eat and eat and eat
He ate his toys then ate his cage
He ate my homework - every page!
He at my shirt, my sock, my shoe
He ate my favourite trousers too
He ate the table, ate the chairs
He ate the roof, the floor, the stairs
He ate the walls, my hungry mouse
Then ate the rest of my poor house
He then went rolling down the street
To look for something more to eat
He ate a car, a truck, a digger
My mouse just kept on getting bigger
My hungry mouse went to the zoo
And ate a baby kangaroo
He ate the chimps, the snakes, the bats
The grizzly bears and jungle cats
He ate the penguins with a laugh
Then swallowed down a whole giraffe
He ate the grass and ate the trees
He ate the ants and bumble bees
He did not use a fork or knife
To eat the farmer and his wife
He ate the tractor and the plough
He ate the chicken, pig, and cow
He ate the mountains and drank the sea
And with one last bite he ate up me!
And just when things were at their worst
HE BURST!
