                      Gingerbread house for a mouse

                      Image created onCanva

                      A little mouse dreamt of  a house –
                      a house built all from cheese.
                      So she could have sweet little bites
                      during the nights with a winter chill.

                      She was waiting and waiting,
                      but it didn’t happen.
                      So the mouse decided
                      to wait for a gingerbread one
                      during this Christmas time.

                      For a very good reason
                      in this cheerful season,
                      every wish can come true.
                      And the little mouse whispered hope
                      upon the bright Christmas star.

                      In the morning she run out
                      of her hole in the wall
                      and what a surprise!
                      There was a gingerbread house
                      and a star blinking above.
