Hale Mouse

When Mrs. Mouse married Mr. Mouse,
it was unfortunate that they had no house.

So they moved into a fireman's boot,
that was quite dirty and smelled of soot.
They lived in the boot for a year and a day,
before they looked for a new place to stay.
For about a month they tried a soda can,
but the mice found it damp, and CocaCola just wasn't their brand.
The Mr. suggested they try out a rock,
but the Mrs. had hoped for a place with a lock.
They looked and they looked with all their mouse might,
but nothing they saw seemed to feel right.

The Mr. and Mrs. started to mope,
would they ever find a house? They began to lose hope.

But then they found a place with lots of appeal,
in fact when they saw it they let out a squeal!

It was nothing fancy just an old milk box.
But it felt like home to them, and it had a door they could lock!
They gave it the name, "Hale Mouse" which is Hawaiian for "House of Mouse".
And that's just what it was to a mouse and his spouse.

I am glad they finally find their home. :)

I think I say this every time, but those mice are the cutest things. I love Mrs. Mouse's red dress with pink trim and matching purse! And there's something about the idea of a mouse house (hale mouse!) that really captures the imagination. Now me, I would have moved into the Coke can.

You should do children's books:)

Happy housewarming to Mr. & Mrs. Mouse!

I love this, especially because it reminds me of a beloved book from childhood called The Mouse Book, by Helen Piers. My grandma gave it to me on my 2nd birthday, and wrote a little poem in the front for me (as she did with many birthday books). I am so glad I still have it to share with my kids- although for some reason they never have seemed as captivated by the story and adorable photographs as I was and still am! lol.

I'm totally going to show this and read it to my three year old who will just go nuts for it. So adorable! You're the master.

You are just too clever! I think you could publish these as children's books; your creations and the photography are fabulous!

Your talent PAINS me! In a good way, of course. :-) I especially loved the poem.

thanks for sharing the cute story and a look at the equally cute little mousies!

[justJENN]

Hilarious. I hope this was taken in a public place, cause if I was there I'd call for a straightjacket for the crazy woman and her mice, asap.

[joyce]

So cute Myra!...and very tiny!

you are quite the master of rhyme! i love that milk carton house -- the color of the carton is great, too.
