NEW PATCHWORK 15 / A GREEN MOUSE

A green mouse
Which ran in the grass
I catch it by the tail
I show it to these sirs
These sirs say to me
Dip it into the oil
Dip it into the water
That will become a snail
Any warmth
I put it in my handkerchief
She says that it makes too black
I put it in my hat
She says that it is too much warm
I put it in my panties
She makes it three small dropping.
