Oh, the mice these days....

if you give a mouse a cookie,

she may graciously say nay.

This one is a counter,

she keeps track of calories.

If you give a mouse a cookie,

put away the nutty kind.

You don’t want to put her

in an anaphylactic bind.

Do not give the mouse

Butter cookies and milk

She doesn't need a dose of lactose.

If you give a mouse a cookie,

steer clear from one made of sugar.

The sweetie's empathetic

that she’s quite the diabetic.

If you give a mouse a cookie,

take out wheat chaff and all.

Don't ask me,

he squeaked,“Gluten Free,”

If you give a mouse a cookie,

offer the artisanal kind

to the snooty one.

politely requested

almond meal and spelt.

prefers her biscuit.

If you give a mouse a cookie,

make sure you set limits,

to give only the mouse

a cookie?

Give it to the one not so choosy.

And,

If you give that mouse any cookie,

she will gratefully eat it.
