Best Rats Poems

I am in my house,
With a panicked mouse.
Coming back from the fridge
Going through the sand-ridge
Into its hole in a jiffy
Then squeaking out - Yippee !

Then come two rats
With a hard pat on the back
Running along with its mate
Making things obfuscate
Around the bagful of nickels
Crossing the...

Rats rats rats
I’m scared of creepy crawly rats
Thay have beedy eyes and a long slivering tail
And the ones around here are as big as cats.

Rats rats rats
There’s countless millions everywhere
Nesting in your knicker draw
And crawling trough your hair

Rats rats rats
I was staggering home pickled from...

There could be rats and snakes hiding in here.
Yes, I am talking about asps and cobras, big ones.
Hiding under the bed, no, not in my head, under my bed.

Okay, what about way back there, in the darkest corner?
Did you check out THAT corner? My voice...

New York City is overrun by rats!

   And is driving the poor citizens bats.

      Guv'mint will botch extinction.

         They ne'er act with distinction.

Rodents that stealthily invade a home,
Agile and able to crawl through tight spaces.
Troublesome pests that chew holes and leave droppings,
Scurrilous scavengers with beady-eyed faces.

Lower you say? No way!!!!!!
Sewer rats fare better
Politicians are the bottom
Of this poetic society

Yet for all their failings
We are protected
We are spoiled
Laziness is our new Idol

Oh let us sit on our chairs
Ranting poetic verse
Let us not lift a finger
Contributing to society, this must surely be...

Masters of theft
Morally retarded
With devious stealing methods
For people, today they steal
From them, tomorrow they steal

Skewing the popular concept of morality
The execuTHIEVES among rodents
Leading players in series of shocking scandals
With gross misconducts running the gamut of vices
Devious financial dealings and embezzlements

Shall I compare thee to rats?
The...

For one I cannot understand 
the mentality abandoning logic and reasoning 
Firstly within the people of this island 
cutting the allowance for those with disabilities 
this should be slammed as an attack on the most vulnerable 

Where doctors preforming abortions get a big pay rise...

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...

Don’t go into the garden, Maude;
I think the rats are back.
Stay with me a while
We’ll lie here and listen to the
Singsong of pingpong from below.

But don’t go into the cellar,
It smells of bicycle oil
And rotted cabbage,
Of plums in jars clad
in white mould.

Yes, look, see how...

THE‘MORROW’S MAJESTY

Tomorrow might mean angel day
To be followed by one angelic night
Tomorrow I may view an angel’s display
A dais of delectable delight 

I can never be certain when she will alight
One of Heaven’s most hallowed sights
For forever I will fear her final flight
No more love,...

(Refrain?)
Rats in a cage and around we go
Round and round we go 
Keep your tail up 
Keep your head down 
Which ways up
And around we go

Three too many on the wheel
Too too long between meals
One step ahead of the frail
Some will eat their young
Some chew...

Trouble, trouble in the mown rye!
Sneaky snakes slither round and by,
silently squeezing through rubble
in the mown rye, trouble, trouble!

Sneaky snakes eat rats in the field,
mice and bugs that damage the yield. 
Common problems farmers must beat.
Rats in the field, sneaky snakes eat. 

Friendship extends to...

The King lies in state.
His armour stands in the hall.
He died very young.
What vile devil killed the King?
Rats are running on the floor....

There lives a puppy named Weasel
She's almost big as a diesel
Artists paint her on their easel
She can be found digging up bones

Her heart is as wild as a deer
She's amazing - she's without fear
Her hair grows in spite of the shear
She eats so she may...
