Several comps.? Just having fun Ann!
Fission fission said the mouse,
and what is that said the cup
its a neuclear thing, not a clear thing
oh you mean one that blows up in the cream
yes that's it in the cream
but the tea was annoyed
no its milk,
like silk I agree and the sugar
makes fizzels in me
and the foam looks like snow don't you know?
squabble squabble
what's that
when you wobble your belly so fat
its inclined to annoy the mice in the house
'cos it means you've just eaten
the whole of the cake in one go
and there's no crumb left for him now
you know.

Once upon a time there were two mice
who wanted to find out what nuclear fission was,
they took some cups to measure it but on the way
they decided to have a cup of tea, then snow began
to fall and dampened their enthusiasm, so they
went back to their hole and forgot all about it.

Once upon a time
there were two mice
who in a thrice
decided it'd be nice
to find out what
nuclear fission was
so they went armed with cups
for to measure their pleasure
and ended up drinking tea with me
as they didn't really feel sent
by the project and meant
it superfluous you see.

- Happy flowers
- orange they are with petals all around
- they abound in my back garden now
- and never make a sound
- just stand tall on their stalks of green
- reaching to the sun every one
- like suns themselves they are round
- with rays of radiant hue,
- not blue but the blue of the sky
- is a contrast for my eye
- and their name isn't new
- it is old as the dew
- its a marigold,
- marigold,
- marigold.

- to the end of my life
- as I die
- what a terrible, terrible lie.
