Mountaineer Mouse Poem by Ima Ryma

The yellow-rumped leaf eared mouse be
Found in the Andes mountains range,
Living from levels at the sea
All the way to the peak tops - strange!
A more than twenty thousand foot
Spread of elevated abode,
Such a lifestyle climbing does put
This mountaineering mouse in mode
Of being a mammal unique,
The highest dwelling mammal - yes,
A climate changer, so to speak.
Answer to why - anyone's guess!

Survival challenge to endure,
This is a mighty mouse for sure.
