Rats For Phones

Rats for Phones Medieval Hamelin, so they say Was rat infested so one day The town folks, though with shady hype Hired a Piper and his pipe And rid the town of rats he did But he also piped away each kid So it is today in a South African town Alexandria has run aground It’s rat infested with all types And there’s no Piper now who pipes But you still can hear the Piper’s tones In the city sponsored free cell phones For if you turn in 60 rats You get a cell phone and congrats They’re killing rats there by the score In hopes there soon would be no more But signs say this stunt could backfire As there is now some public ire The activists for animal rights Have got the city in their sights And they’ve condemned this initiative Saying even rats have the right to live Where will this end – I have no clue But if you had rats what would you do If you’re like me, let it be known We’d have ourselves a new cell phone Mdailey 11/5/12
