Gus The Gentlemouse

Khalid Mukhtar · October 31, 2015 · Leave a Comment

Respectable Gus Nibble Gnawsom
Apparels in manner quite awesome;
His trousers of cotton are properly starched
With shirt neatly pressed, and epaulettes arched,
And tan leather boots whose ebony laces
Would help Gnawsom get into elegant places;
His coat lined with taffeta, cuff links of bronze
Do help him to forge the most friendly of bonds;
Apparel that brightens the bearing of Gus,
There never was more handsome a gentlemouse.


Note: It would be most gnawsome to pronounce it gentle-mus, evidenced by the last couplet.

Poetry, Silly rhymes
