Hey guys. It's Emma Zippy 577 again. I'm sure you're wondering what I'm' doing with this kind of song-fiction crossover. And of course why I titled it the way I did. But my mom loves it when I give her something from the heart on holidays. And let's face it I write with all my heart and soul. So Mom, Happy Mother's day! I love you!

I swear the darn cat gets better every episode! Jerry the mouse thought as he wrote a letter to his mom. He smiled at his finished work that read:

Dear Mom,

Tom and I are still going at it. But last week Butch had the idea that

"Cats, mice and dogs can get along- Can't they?" So we took it

down a notch for a few days. But then everyone was getting into this

pact we all signed. We were acting like lambs to each other! But of

course it didn't last to long. Can you guess what our pact was torn

over? A warm juicy steak! Being a mouse I first got the smallest

piece. Then we were at it again when I drew up who got what. But

that's besides the point. Mom it's Mother's day this upcoming

weekend would you like to come over? No need to reply just come!

Yours truly,

Jerry Mouse

He quickly slid it into an envelope and rushed it to the Speedy Mail Office. He smiled sitting back down when he got home. But he didn't sit for long. Tom had decided he was hungry and was clawing in his doorway hoping for a mid-day snack. Jerry hopped up in surprise and then pushed the mousetrap he had by the door up by his large nasty claws. "OW-OOOOH!" Jerry heard the grey tom cat exclaim. Jerry came out of his little mouse home to watch Tom try to some-how shake off the mousetrap. Jerry sick of his endless whimpering walked up his arm to his shoulder and whispered in his ear Try resetting it! Tom thought a moment and then reset the mouse trap. Jerry smiled and Tom thanked him. Then scooped him up in his claws and ran to the kitchen. He tied him up and then got out a frying pan, which he placed Jerry on. The cat placed butter on the pan while getting his dipping sauce ready. If I weren't the main course Jerry thought I'd enjoy eating dinner with him sometime.

Then Tom looked up his ears perked as he heard something that sound like a cross between a middle-aged chipmunk and Tarzan. Mom, got here! Right on time, too! The small brown female mouse leapt off the counter with an iron in her hand and dropped it on Toms foot and untied Jerry. They ran away laughing and snuck into Jerry's mouse hole. Jerry smiled at his mom and motioned in the way the little mouse often did "You can't imagine the sour day I would've had if you hadn't showed up!" Jerry's mother shrugged, "It was nothing deary. Now you have a bit of scorched fur on your tail. Jerry smiled and whistled the song his mother used to sing when he was going to sleep.

Momma said "there'll be days like this, Days like this" my momma said.

The catchy tune and lyrics went on over and over in his mind. And finally he just looked over to his mother and said, "Thanks, mom."
