A Wheely Good Time

Olive and Lottie are very busy little mice
They are part of a sewing bee who are incredibly nice
Skilled with a needle they can fix things in a trice
With the most delicate stitching so neat and precise
They live in the skirting boards, all cosy and warm
Each morning they rise early ready to preform
Their sewing skills are exceptional with a needle and thread
Old Mrs Brown leaves them to do the work instead
Each night she puts out any jobs to be done
Lottie mouse is always the first to work before anyone
She gathers up the scissors, pins, needles and lace
Rummaging through fabric starting to pin things in place
Olive arrives and starts to pull out all the elastic
She is a young eager mouse who thinks sewing is fantastic
Finding the fun in her work rolling out the cotton reels
Bouncing on the pin cushion high in the air she squeals
Scampering on little feet they cut and they measure
The hours soon fly by with how well they work together
At the end of the day little Olive can’t wait to climb
Up onto the hand wheel for a swing and a wheely good time!
