Hungry Pete

A Poem by Baz
"

A hungry, hungry mouse

"

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!

You certainly have a wonder gift. Your R & M are great and your imagination is so wonderfully amusing. Guess the mouse got even with the farmer's wife for cutting off their tails with a carving knife. LOL Your poems keep me smiling for sure and laughing out loud too.
