All I Want for Christmas

Sofie is a very cheeky girl
And rather clever for a mouse
She tiptoes down the quiet corridors
Undiscovered within the country house

Her favourite time of year has finally arrived
The freshly baked gingerbread wafts down the hall
The tree is hung with pretty baubles and twinkling lights
A smell that’s irresistible to the resident mice

As the house falls silent, Sofie looks all around
Scampering towards the treat her feet make no sound
She has her eye on her most desired prize
The giant orange ball reflecting in her glassy black eyes

Swinging wildly from branches to steal the treat
She reaches with all her might for something sweet
With a final swing she captures her treasure
Tapped and unwrapped she enjoys the chocolatey pleasure
