The Many Uses of Pact

Wrote half a poem on a rat
Then realized I’d spelled it wrong
It’s not “Pact” Rat, it’s a “Pack” Rat
This write is just taking too long

Did a search on the Internet
To see how the word can be used
Wanted a unique use of Pact
So all of them there, I perused

Gave up and threw-in the towel
And decided to use them all
Although it may not make much sense
It’s a way around a brick wall

Like a treaty between nations
Pact is a formal agreement
Accord, alliance, protocol
A bond, a deal, an arrangement

PACT, a maker of underwear,
Hawaiian family service 
Makes digital power scales
It’s also an adoption service

PACT is a citizen work group
And also bunch of other things
This has been going on too long 
It’s over, I’m stopping the pain
