a poem about rats

 

rats

rats in hats, rats who live in council flats

rats who shy from irksome cats

rats who slinker, slythe, and sly

rats who sniff the pepper sky

rats who scamper rats who romp

rats who chew and grind and chomp

rats

rats with beards and snuffle noses

rats with plaitts and scuffle toeses

rats beneath the ground we walk

rats who scheme and sneek and stalk

rats with whiskers rats with none

rats who sunbathe in the sun

rats who slither in your bed

rats are everywhere you tread

rats who skulk beneath your pillows

rats as big as armadillos

rats

rats who watch you while you snooze

rats who chew holes in your shoes

rats who nip your childrens feets

rats who pinch your childrens sweets

rats who breed and multiply

rats unseen, you pass them by

rats who raid your fridge by day

and run up bills they never pay

rats who live beneath your bed

or live behind your shelves instead

rats who hide in dark dark holes

rats who bully poor blind moles

rats with beady eyes of black

rats who cheek and answer back

rats who scratch, and snatch and stare

rats rats everywhere

rats

rats who live right here beside us

rats who gobble great big spiders

rats with wrinkles rats with fleas

rats who steal your stilton cheese

rats with teeth like vampire bats

rats who even scare tom cats

rats beneath our every street

rats who slyly watch our feet

rats who multiply and spread

rats will rule this earth we tread

rats with foot long scaley tales

rats who breed where poison fails

i repeat to get this in your head

rats will rule this earth we tread

for soon the rat race will arise

and take us humans by surprise

from sewers drains and holes they'll come

and rule the animal kingdom

for rats are tuff and know no fear

and they do not really want us here

as we speak a million more give birth

and one day rats will rule the earth

and even if the bomb should drop

the rat race it will never stop

for rats survive where humans fail

and so ends this rat infested tale.
