Once upon a time, there was a man so grand,
With a heart as big as a playground.
He loved to play with the children, oh so much,
And watch the mice play and scamper with a touch.

There was also a woman, so kind and so bright,
She would hold the children close, day and night.
And the geese, they'd honk and swim in the pond,
While the children laughed, and a game was beyond.

The mouse would join in the play, with a squeak and a leap,
And the children would chase it, their laughter so cheap.
But the man, he'd always be there, to help and to care,
And the mouse would be safe, without any scare.

So the mice, man, child, goose, children, men and women,
All played and had fun, with love that was given.
And they'd all live happily, without any fuss,
In this land of joy, with the mice and geese in a plus.

So let's all be like them, and play with a heart,
And love one another, from the very start.
For when we are kind, and love is our guide,
We'll have joy in our lives, just like the mouse and the tide.
