Don’t look at this picture if you are squeamish. I must admit it’s not a pleasant sight – and I think mice are quite cute (when alive and not decomposing). This must have been a nasty shock. The mouse was, “embedded in the base of the bread” so imagine if he hadn’t looked at the bottom and just started to use the loaf? He might have had half the tail before noticing..

someone had done it harm
It had a damaged wing
which was very badly frayed

my fondness for it grew
But when I tried to touch it
up in the air it flew

Don’t spend the rest of your life waist deep in cold water

then you’ll be wetter than you were before.

a truly great possession

We always have some left
but if we give it no one
it’s we that are bereft
