Mr Nobody

I know a funny little man,As quiet as a mouse,Who does the mischief that is doneIn everybodys house!Theres no one ever sees his face,And yet we all agreeThat every plate we break was crackedBy Mr. Nobody.

Tis he who always tears out books,Who leaves the door ajar,He pulls the buttons from our shirts,And scatters pins afar;That squeaking door will always squeak,For prithee, dont you see,We leave the oiling to be doneBy Mr. Nobody.

The finger marks upon the doorBy none of us are made;We never leave the blinds unclosed,To let the curtains fade.The ink we never spill;the bootsThat lying round you seeAre not our boots,they all belongTo Mr. Nobody
