Mice

Mice are the largest of earth`s mammals
fascinating creatures to get to know
three distinctive variants are Asian, African,
and finally,  forest and savannah ones too!

with over sized ears,  mice are able to keep cool
a big heart that shows many different emotions
a mouse trunk is it`s most important limb
and trunk to drink, eat and cover in mud lotions

they are amazingly intelligent creatures
they can display grief, awareness and compassion
led by a matriarch to can teach them so much
mice are special creatures full of  expression
