Rat Festation

I come in my house one day Just got home from getting groceries You can always get the good deals on Mondays And I’m talking to one of my girlfriends who is shopping too We chitchat of everything while she does her groceries when I hear a sound Like scurrying through the floor I thought it was the rain pouring on the windows But then I heard it again That whispering sounds of scurring Of scratching My floors had claw marks all over And thats when I saw it A RAT! I dropped my phone and run throughout the house, getting on chairs and tables Get away you foul creature A rat with red eyes, looking back it me These are almost impossible to get rid of Where do these animals come from? All rats are the same, always wild animals that need to be annexed It disappears in my kitchen where I patch the hole it came through The next day i’m doing laundry when hear that sound Scurrying across the floor, the sound of running Panting, exhaustion And I see the rat near my clothes and I scream Get away you foul creature A rat with red eyes, looking back it me These are almost impossible to get rid of Where do these animals come from? They just keep on coming, invading my space and where I live They need to go or else they will always come back I set traps all over the house Setting cheese in one, poison in another All gadgets from A to Z We need to get rid of them , they are a danger to us But you know what the great thing about setting traps are? That I have the power to control their lives, all with a piece of cheese And just like cheese, all things go sour One by one, these wild animals are gone By a few days, the scurrying stops But the sound of running panting , exhaustion play in my mind But if they ever come back They know what awaits them And the scurrying will stop And they will cease to exist
