MICKEY MOUSE AT THE PRESIDENTIAL LIBRARY

Recent activity here in Dallas at the Opening of the new Bush Presidential Library!

There once was a Texas mouse named Mickey

To the new Bush Library opening he did go;

He too, Minnie and all his hungry friends

---A juicy Library feast their big goal.

He followed around all the past presidents

He even gave Obama's Chicago coat a tag;

He loved running with all the world's big wigs

(After all, the Cat's now out of the Bag!)

They also chased Clinton and Carter

And don't forget dear old Dad Bush too;

After all, big feasts like this don't come often

(tons of paper products to get to chew through)

Mickey and Minnie and the mice had a ball

---All in all a tastefully delightful day---

The Library mice all plan a reunion in Hawaii

When Obama gets his big 'Retirement Day'!

A hard topic to discuss. Hard when old President build their own libraries for themselves. I like the use of Mickey and Minnie having a good time.

Yes, this is written on an assignment to write up a funny story involving a mouse.
At least I tried! LOL Thanks--I love mice & monkeys!

Yes indeed..............a grand day for a grand event! Why, even the mice were happy....lol
As I recall, I believe there were two mice in my area preparing for the Hawaii journey, but their "Big Cheese" told them they wouldn't be able to spring the trap to make it - giggling.
You have given us a very entertaining write!

[poetdoug]

I love it---your "Big Cheese" response it worthy of a sequel to my poem! Lol. Thanks for receiving the poem in the spirit in which it was written---The language of Humor. That's Sheila!
