Basil the Royal Kitchen Mouse

"Basil - The Royal Kitchen Mouse" by Andy Roth

There was a mouse so strong and brave, There was no town he couldn’t save. Charmed the monster of the Serengeti, I heard he even beat a Yeti.

When a famine crossed the seas, He grew orchards of apple trees. And During one horrific drought, He dug a mile deep hole and drew water out.

Every time he trod the stage, The harshest critic he could engage. When asked how he did this all he replied, “I may be small, but I’m big inside.”
