Short Rattus Poems

Rats

If rats live on no evil star
Then why did rats not get that far ?
Or if they did, and then they left 
Then why’s that star of rats bereft ?

And what of good stars ? Did they
Fail to keep the rats away ?
Did rattus come complete with fleas,
Lured on by interstellar cheese ?...

A taxonomic binomial that does not sound fabulous: 
That would be the term "Rattus norvegicanus". 
The species belongs to the order Rodentia. 
They can be found anywhere except Antarctica. 
Rats seem to proliferate quite freely. 
What annoying pests these creatures can be! 
However, there's a way to rid them, fortunately. 
Just take a trap and bait it with cheese. 
That's a tried and true method to exterminate them with ease.
