Ratman

Ratman is busy so very busy spending most of his free time accumulating things building his nest from life's little messes he works hard so very hard to keep family on the dime to keep his mind on the sundial line. Ratman is an actor a very fine actor primping his hair memorizing his worn lines but nobody cares nobody cares. Now he's built a great nest at the greatest expense but the cats aren't impressed licking their paws - sniffing for weakness. the ratman is bleeding the ratman has bled nobody noticed him balled up in his loneliness of his great paper nest. the ratman is dead the ratman is dead nobody came to lay him to rest.
