Follow the ghost and solve the crime
Back in the past in the great time
An effort to solve the rhyme
To the eye that is blind
Try to correct the crime in time

Who made the cushion flat.
He wobbles when he walks,
There are many mice he stalks.
In the end, he jumped at a bat.

Bad Articulation
Flutter flutter, Ooo oobly ooo
I seem to mutter, when speaking to you
You say, “What’s that you said?”
Jeeze, repeating things I do dread!

He never liked to get on stage
He had no other fear
He liked to hunt deer
When he misses, he goes into rage

Once there was a dark brown mouse
Who ate his owner’s new house
He chewed up the beams
And nibbled the seams
Until it all came tumbling down.
There once were four fish that lived in a tank
One ate so much food that it sank
The other fish laughed
As the poor tiny fish gasped
Little did they know it was all a prank
