Three mice were drinking cocktails
And they began to boast
About who was the bravest
Which one of them dared most

The first mouse said: "I'm bravest
For if I see a trap
I'll eat the cheese right from it
without making it snap"

The other two applauded
And said that that was brave
That eating from a mousetrap
Was certainly not safe

The second said: "I'm bolder
When people eat their bread
And turn away for coffee
I'll steal their sandwich spread"

At that his buddies nodded
Because they both agreed
That stealing from the table
Was really bold indeed

The third mouse kept his silence
and then at last he said:
"I'm going back to my place
because I have to feed the cat"
