I swallowed the Little Book of Calm
to become a soothsayer,
a seeker, a crier, a prophet for peace and solemnity.
For only then could I calm and relieve my troubled black book soul
torn by regret, envy, greed and jealousy.
Once digested it imbued my inner being
to emulate and enunciate
the well pond of calm within and without.
It quelled the quiver, quake, swell, ratter and roll
of a troubled world, both inside and out,
to be still, quietly moored, satiated in peace.

Had a big dog for to tend the sheep
Small dog for a ratter while we sleep
Old spot for all to pet
Growler for warn he let
All had a job and work for their keep

tippy-toe tap tap
pitter-patter slosh
splish splosh, splash,
drip of tap
purr of cat
twits of bird chat
ratter tat, ratter tat
knocks on my door.
The unintended muse
was stifled
by the hiss of bliss
perusing the lines
while muffled mute,
ignoring
what was installed
between them,
instilled!

She screamed honey honey
Come see rats
He rushed for a slasher
ready to terminate descendants Muroidea
And sons of rodent
Where honey where
The the rat killer asked standing like superman
The woman shouted here here
The man asked under sheets?
The woman said yes honey yes
Rats in sheets
Rattus rattus honey
Come kill Rattus rattus
Her eyes were now blazing fire
And the man understood
He crawled like spider-man
Not to scare the muroid rodents away
His hand lay on the cotton mouse
And she started screaming again
Kill it Honey Kill it
He shot seven plus six plus two plus...
And her classical swine fever faded away
As all rats ran into their honeysuckle
Till she screams again
Rats Rats Ratter

A place of goodbyes is the earth
Each generation we let go
Heaven_ place of hellos and mirth
Whitey went_ will there be rebirth
Or with animals only end though
A place of goodbyes is the earth
Sadness overwhelmed_she had worth
Was good ratter now receives gateau
Heaven_ place of hellos and mirth
While here on this earth, let me unearth
And expand on my good traits let grow
A place of goodbyes is the earth
I'll leave_ take spiritual rebirth
Put on my countenance's warm glow
Heaven_ place of hellos and mirth
All will leave in flight that is dearth
Now new body on me bestow
A place of goodbyes is the earth
Heaven_place of hellos and mirth
