Mouse in the Well

Mouse in the well,
Twenty feet down.
Poor innocent creature,
That had to drown.

Mouse in the well,
Leaving all his kin.
Just crawling along a pole,
And tumbled in.

Mouse in the well,
Stiff and saturated.
There is a great need,
To get him eliminated.

Mouse in the well,
Poor thing, poor thing.
Seeing his plight,
No notes can I sing.

Mouse in the well,
There is no doubt.
I will let down the bucket,
And pull him out.

E.P. 1908 - 1989
