CHIQUITA RATON, LITTLE MOUSE

Melanie C. Campos ~ MahTame: Chiquita Raton, Little MouseAh, welcome to my classroom
You very, very little gray mouse
What morsels are you finding?
In this grand schoolroom house!

Please be careful, Chiquita raton
Students, like giants, enter here
Precariously walking about inside
Ready to catch you, mousy dear!
