In his own house, every mouse is a King!

Little mouse illustration and poem

the illustration:

and the poem:

I am a mere mouse,
I live in a card house,
And I am troubled by things.

But it’s hard not to feel small
When the portraits on your wall
Are of great Queens and Kings.
-
I am so proud of my house,
You’ll agree, for a mouse,
I have quite a collection of things.

But no matter what I amass
It is still nothing, alas,
To rival the riches of King’s.
-
I keep quiet as a mouse,
Even in my own house!
I’m afraid I’m obsessed with these things…

But a mouse could do worse
Than write poems in verse
Dreaming of castles and Kings.

Self Portrait paper doll

perhaps this is slightly self-indulgent, but on the other hand, its kinda weird that i hadn't made a paper doll of myself before now...

these are all outfits i really have, mostly.

i always like the line drawing version the best

examples!

the rabbit mask/tiny top hat combo is particularly keen! ha!
