I love little furry things
that whizz across the floor
That no one can identify
It makes me love them more
And if they have long tails
It doesn’t induce fright
And if they have big whiskers
It fills me with delight
I love little furry things
anything rodent shaped
That might crawl up your leg
And make the faint heart faint
I just don’t get it
Why are we scared of them?
They’re soft and they are fuzzy
From where did our fears stem?
Why do they scare the elephant
When it is so big?
Why do they scare the human race
When they’re the size of a small wig?
Oh, I love little furry things
That dart across the floor
It’s true, they nibble a lot
But they don’t shout or roar
I love little furry things
That get eaten by cats
They’re much smaller than us
So don’t kill them in traps
So, the moral of this story stands
Well, there is no moral really
Just be kind to those of us
Who are small and cute and furry.
