The Lion And The Mouse

The Lion And The Mouse.

Mouse caught by lion

pleads for his life,

Begs to go home

To his children and wife:

"You never know, Leo, 

If you set me free

One day you might get in a fix

and need me."

Leo amused by 

The field mouses cheek,

Lets him go. He departs 

with a skip and a squeak.

And would you believe it,

The very next week...

Leo the lion just happens to get hopelessly

 tangled In game hunters net.

Mouse happens along,

says "I'm small with no roar 

but theres one thing I can do,

And that is to gnaw."

In less than an hour 

the nets nibbled through...

Do someone a good turn,

they might do one for you.
