In the realm of crazy
Insanity births the face
Of the dead rodent...

O, yes, he is exclusively competent
as the national leader
that tightly compatible and coherent
with his time and national traditions. 
He had done all for  the rise our stupid ambition 
and blind glory, post-soviet  and post-tsarists illusions 
as the perfect relict from past and wild...

This weird, eerie rodent sparks such adoration
A trip to his park's cause for great celebration
The plaques's spread by such vermin
But I'll spare you the sermon
Disneyland, here I am, on my dream vacation!

His offer of friendship and close affinity derided,
disowned as a kin by the bat, the rebuffed rat retorted:


          "Snobbish acrobat, you're so rude, unschooled in civility;
          with...

When I chance upon a lone squirrel
    The vibe hardly approaches a thrill

  You think he's cute, waving his bushy tail
    Congratulations! Here's your rodent for sale...

So scurry on my furry friend
Before you get your due
My dog is in the kitchen
And he can swallow you
He doesn’t like intruders
Those that come into his house
So scurry on my furry friend
Or you’ll be a dead mouse...

Breakfast in your rooms, the unknown suited lady says with pride.
She has written a grant, and the school district is happily clapping it into our buildings.
Miss J, an older teacher who is always dressed to the nines
raises her hand.
“What do we do about the rodent...

See the sneering of the student,
I think she's angry at the rodent.

She finds it hard to see the kitten,
Overshadowed by her shiny mittens,

Who is that standing near the truck?
I think she'd like to run a muck
.
She is but an exciting student,
Yet scared as she sits...

all the wheels
are still 
so no 
lights light 
my darkness

this must be
sleep for a
circus finds
me when i'm
awake so i must

make but 
with only a few 
to power a turntable
to start turning churning 
out Proud Mary but would

need thousands with
a thousand wheels
squeaking to try to

Have you met Rodney yet?
Was it a dog? Was he her pet?
He’s made partly of gears and stuff
Smokes and also uses tobacco snuff.

Rodney Rodent is steampunk through and through
He gives me shivers said my cousin Sue
I finally met him, a formidable man.
Made partly of tin...

Her ears point forward to a sound she hears.
A sound beyond a pitch to my ears.
Her legs now crouch to attend the fears
Of the twitching nose that scours the airs.

She runs like a bullet shot from a gun.
I'm following behind on the run.
She corners and...

Meet the friendly capybara
Rodent large without a care, a
Chill companion, friend to all, for
Clearing any gloomy pall

Sitting still or hanging out, with
Capybara social clout, a
Being present in the now, who
Effortlessly lives the Tao

Showing up and just to be, in
Any opportunity, a
Doing by no action seen,...

Rats! Rats! Rats!
Romping, frolicing, ruckussy rats!
Cuddly, bubbly, lovably rats!
Pestering, menacing, troublesome rats!
Rats! Rats! Rats!

Getting in your hair
Crawling through open holes
Bouncing ‘round from chair to chair
Licking leftover food out of bowls

Tickling, bothersome
Pickling, lothersome
Just plain nuisancy 
RATS!
