Olive and Pickle

Olive and Pickle were two pet rats As naughty as can be Always up to mischief And trying to climb free The rats were cute with big round eyes, And long thick wormy tails, But not the kind you’re thinking of, Cos they’re for boys and males. Pickle had such love for Olive She was her closest friend She held her in such high regard Yet drove her round the bend! Olive was a cheeky rat And always stealing food Yet never kept it from her mate For Olive wasn’t rude. There was another person In the girls’ equation But not so ratty as the friends Although a close relation. Their human friend I’m talking of Was their wise and clever owner She was a lover of all God’s Beasts A lovely hippy Stoner Clarissa kept them warm and safe And free from Ill infection She gave them love and loyalty And wonderful protection.
