The Mice once called a meeting
To decide upon a plan.
The Cat, their lifelong enemy,
From whom they always ran,
Was terrorizing all Mousekind,
All day and all night through.
When finally one smart, young Mouse
Squeaked "I know what to do!"
The plan was simple, oh so sweet,
Around her neck they'd hang,
A bell so bold and brassy it
Would warn them with its clang.
"How dense we've been to wait so long.
Before we thought of that!"
But one old wise and wary Mouse
Asked: "Who will bell the Cat?"
