Confessions of a serial mower - back to normal

Thank you so much for all your lovely messages and comforting words. The Heiress is still doing well and I think the worst is behind us.

Nine Mice by Jack Prelutsky

Nine mice on tiny tricycles
went riding on the ice.
they rode in spite of warning signs,
they rode despite advice.

The signs were right, the ice was thin,
in half a trice, the mice fell in.
and from their chins down to their toes,
those mice entirely froze.

Nine mindless mice, who paid the price,
are thawing slowly by the ice.
still sitting on their tricycles
...nine white and shiny micicles!
