Staring Off Into Space

Out of his mind lost all control Whither his soul Mad as can be completely insane Whereto his brain Garbled speech making no sense Illogic dispensed Here he comes now staring off into space Kindly greet him with grace… He’s a card-carrying member of our crazy rat race

My cousin had an epiphany after having a brain tumor. She was glad to step out of the rat race and to serve mankind instead.

Your sister's brain tumor saved her life, I'd say! Here's to service! :) gw

Garrrhhh…. Rats, rats, rats… I’ve got four super genius rats nicking by bird seed all day long. I’ve got six… yes that’s like all the fingers on one hand and both of your thumbs… SIX traps out and they just run around them. So when I’m staring into space… I’m scheming rat Armageddon. Like the write, Gershon, even if it has given me a nervous tick…

Six traps. Hmm. Remember: 'Rats' backward spells 'Star.' Whatever that proves... lol.

Just remember, John, that 'rats' backward spells 'star!' ~ Twinkle, Twinkle
