Ernie was a happy gray mouse
he lived alone in a large doll's house
had a diet varied and sweet
a nicer mouse you would not meet
Then one day he noticed he was getting really big
(possibly due to him eating like a pig)
but as ever larger his stomach grew
he suddenly noticed that the rest of him was too
Soon he was towering over dogs and cats
his furry stomach filled with fat
everything was huge even his ears
now he was something people respected and feared
He lives alone in a enclosure in a zoo
how this happened he hasn't a clue
where he was once tiny and sweet
he's terrified of crushing things with his enormous feet
when once he was a happy rodent in a doll's house
now he is a lonely hippopota-mouse
