Oh Ye Rats

Oh, the blithering allies full of pests rats! With their creeping paws and slimy nests they screech and moan and scare while dragging everything to their lair nothing if not full of zest are rats, the one major pest! I met a rat a time ago an ugly fat creature...Albino! sweeping back it's hairless tail it pointed at me with a greusome nail! flashing teeth he crept away and me not wanting to be led astray tried and failed to stay on the path (only not to invoke his ancient wrath) followed him down his trail while feeling like I was being led to jail After a while, we had to stop opening his mouth, he clucked his tongue with a pop then pointed at himself and said words with a tongue blood red words! words! exactly three "I'm ancient rat", said he The rat smiled grimly and dragged me away I did not all want to play in the dark abyss shpaed like a door so grabbing a stick, I hit him with a roar It writhed! It writhed! with pain galore I ran away so he could not give more So what you have learned hopefully where rats are concerned is to never stray off a path might as well invoke the wrath the be led away by the ancient rat where you will likely be sat in a dark place you'd rather not be kept down there to rot alone! alone! with a rat an albino and one that's fat! so stay away from them and their nests and most of all them the pests! Oh dear! Oh rats!
