"In the Country"
XOXOXO
standing in a strawberry field,
how could I resist?
when all of them were staring at me
begging to be picked.
I'm sorry that I ate them,
I know that I was wrong.
so what's the point in yelling
when they're already gone?
XOXOXO
little mousy, little mousy
do you want some cheese?
I will give a slice to you
if only you say please.
come out little mousy,
I promise I won't hurt you…
stop that, kitty kat!
we've already fed you!
XOXOXO
Food, food, food
Is the first thing on my mind,
Every single day I eat
Plants and things like melon rinds
My life is perfectly heavenly
And my pen has lots of mud,
And all the time I'm getting fatter
From food that comes in a flood
