Finer To Take Than To Beg

At first I was vexed
I’m an excellent host
And his behaviour was tantamount
To that of an ingrate
I leave the best leftovers
And never a stop for a chat
I collared him one day
And asked him
Why he never said thanks
With legs akimbo
Hands on hips
He stares me out and then says this

Why should a mouse show gratitude
For taking what is rightfully his?
