There was a mouse

Who lived in a house

Who was beaten by a bat

Of an alley cat

Who was bit by a dog

That was stomped by a hog

Who got kicked by a horse

That was way of his course

And we don’t know how

He was stomped by the cow

Who was taken down

By Farmer Brown

Who was put in a stiff

By the local sheriff

Who then was shot

By a man smoking pot

Who then was burned

By a soldier who returned

To spend his life

With his lovely wife
