The Elf and the Dormouse

Did you ever wonder who first thought of making umbrellas? Well, this is the story.

Under the toadstool, crept a wee little Elf,
Out of the rain to shelter himself

Under the toadstool, sound asleep,
Sat a big Dormouse all in a heap.

Trembled the wee Elf, frightened, and yet
Fearing to fly away lest he get wet.

To the next shelter--maybe a mile!
Sudden the wee Elf smiled a wee smile

Tugged till the toadstool toppled in two.
Holding it over him, gaily he flew.

Soon he was safe home, dry as could be.
Soon woke the Dormouse--"Good gracious me!"

"Where is my toadstool?" loud he lamented.
--And that's how umbrellas first were invented.

"Twinkle, Twinkle, little bat,
How I wonder what you're at
Up above the world so high
Like a tea-tray in the sky."

At the bottom of the entry, I had an animated ad for fast food places that told me to "Hit the Mouse". I just thought this was ironic.
