house of mouse

I am Millhouse, hear me snore
I will not chase the mice no more
For I am old, and I am tired
I've done my work - I have retired

I checked all this with my friend, Myrt
She says, "no more!" to mice alerts
We called a truce and made a vow
That ancient feud is history now

If lions and lambs together may be
We cats and mice ask - why can't we?
Our union met, we took a vote
And so I send this final note

To owners who their feet do tap
Jolting me from my two o'clock nap
This note informs you things will change
No longer will I guard your range

For with the mice I made a deal
A furry pawshake was the seal
I don't bug them, they don't bug me
(They live right next to where I pee)

Rant and rage all through the day
I don't care, the mice can play
Set me right before their hole
I'll walk away, I've sold my soul

Utter threats of tasteless chow
(I only get the cheap food NOW!)
It's over now, you have no power
I'm going to snooze here for an hour

For I am Millhouse, LOUD I snore!
I am too weary now to roar
Just leave me be, and shut the door
I WILL NOT catch those mice no more
