Rata Rats Rats

Rats rats rats
I’m scared of creepy crawly rats
Thay have beedy eyes and a long slivering tail
And the ones around here are as big as cats.

Rats rats rats
There’s countless millions everywhere
Nesting in your knicker draw
And crawling trough your hair

Rats rats rats
I was staggering home pickled from the pub last night
When I saw the whole ground move like a giant carpet
It gave me such a fright
They can crawl from the sewer into your toilet bowl
And bite you on your bum
So always check you haven’t one.

Rats rats rats
Their dirty and have fleas
They breed and multiply so fast
And they say they spread disease
When I'm in my bed at night
i get under the covers
Holding my pillow tight
Just in case one crawls through the window
What a fright..

Rats rats rats
Their intelligent creatures so they say
I’d never hurt a tame one
Just keep them rats away.

Peter, I enjoyed reading your well written piece. However, I don't particularly like rats and they are all through this write. I loved the humor in this piece. :-) Alexis
