The Adventures Of Maddie The Mouse…a Spoon Full Cheese, Please. Poem by R. K. Hart

Maddie pulled a face that would scare the kitty,
She had been very sick and deserved our pity.
She had coughed spluttered,
Someone said try bread that is buttered.
They said it should only be on one side buttered,
Maddie said but which side confused she muttered.
She visited her doctor Fredrick J. Frog,
His office was just under a log.
He looked so very grand,
In a very white coat and mustache down to is hand.
He looked into his book on how to heal a frog,
But of course it did not heal mouse or dog.
His mustache was very, very heavy of course,
And pulled his head toward the floor with force.
He found it so hard to lift his head erect,
With his walking stick under his nose, he fixed the defect.
Now he could see he was dealing with Maddie the Mouse,
As she coughed and sneezed in her bright pink blouse.
Maddie asked, “Please Doctor Frog, make feel better”.
He looked into his book on lady mice,
Then mixed something’s together that didn’t taste very nice.
Maddie thanked Doctor Frog and carried her medicine home.
When it came to taking it, she let out a moan.
Mum had a great trick; she took a spoon of Swiss cheese,
She placed the medicine in it, and Maddie said, “More please”.
