A little mousetrap epigram

Franz von Holstein

Little guests, little house.

Dear Miss or Mister Mouse,

just boldly present yourself

tonight in the moonlight!

But shut the door tight behind you,

do you hear?

And be careful of your tail!

After supper we will sing,

After supper we will jump

and do a little dance;

Witt witt!

My old cat will probably dance with us.
