WORKING OUT WITH CHRISMOUSES
A few days ago we put out our singing Chrismouses
Two sing Jingle Bells , the other a loud Merry Chrismouse,
They are fun to listen every time we press the feet to play,
And they help me to work out in my very own special way.
There are fifteen steep steps in our nice old cozy home,
And in the cool weather too far outside I cannot roam,
So to get a really good workout a few times in a day,
My playing a little game and more strength comes my way.
At the top of the stairs I press a foot and go quickly down,
The first few times I tried it I gave quite a big sad frown,
For I barely made it to the stairfoot door not good at all,
Now you should see me now reach the far livingroom wall.
I have just come down to Chrismouse music into the kitchen,
So much better that to the bottom of the stairs just about reachin
I maybe a bit out of breath with my huffin and puffin and blowin
But those Chrismouses now surely keep my quite fast hoppin.
We like them out for Christmas these chute mouses three
Another one would be good at the bottom near the tree,
Then I can workout going up, see how fast I can go
Then keep them all up after Christmas a good excuse I know.
