Mick Talbot Poet McWhirtle

The Greedy Brown Rat

THE GREEDY BROWN RAT
~~~~~~~~~~~~

the greedy brown rat
was becoming obese
from stealing
food off our table

blasé he became
fearless no fright
he had a surprise
a trap, now he's a fable

Andrea Dietrich February 1, 2018 at 8:31 PM wow, I think this is the first time I ever heard of this form, let alone see a poem written in it. I quite like it!!! Mick Talbot February 2, 2018 at 4:26 AM Another short and sweet form! Give me a nudge if you do one, please. Best wishes... Mick

Tom Cunningham February 1, 2018 at 8:09 PM Haha, crime doesn't pay, even for a rat. Regards Tom Mick Talbot February 2, 2018 at 4:24 AM It was a mouse, a woodmouse, just get it to fit, the trap did though, and I hasten to add it was a humane one. Best wishes... Mick
