Kinship Lesson 1
His offer of kinship derided,
by the snobbish bat insulted,
the much humiliated rat said:
"Bat, you're rude, without civility,
I'm glad we don't have affinity.
Skin-winged mouse, your boasts are many.
Feet up, head down, you look stupidly funny.
One day you'll end up flip-flopping down
and crawl with us on earthy ground."
Be tentative with a relative:
Not all critters of the same fur
enjoy huddling together Sir!
