I'M Not a Rat

Feeling as a rat
I went to the doc for clue.
He gave pretty pills
Now great and sound as a rock.
Will cats know I'm not a rat?

I don't think you are a rat Rats are nasty creatures You don't resemble a rat You don't have ratty features We all feel like rats at times It's another catch Cats put this into our minds So we become easier for them to Snatch... Thank you for your thought- provoking poem

Humorous--with serious undertones, I think. Janice

Cute write, there are times I do feel like a rat and karma is trying to tell me something. I enjoyed reading this one this morning to cheer me up. Eve
