We have a rat; ’tis sad but true
\nI’m glad we know just what to do
\nHe stole our seeds for starving birds
\nAt least I haven’t seen rat turds<\/p>\n
Somehow they’re cute when in a cage
\nBut in my house, they stir up rage
\nIn me and Mrs. Box alike
\nAt least she hasn’t gone on strike<\/p>\n
I saw him first in the garage
\nPerhaps in search of some fromage (shut up – my options are limited)
\nUp on a shelf just out of reach
\nHe scurried off – “Can’t touch this, beech!”<\/p>\n
Next night I heard a scratching sound
\nFrom in the walls – he must be found
\nOur lazy cat can’t get it done
\nIs it that hard? There’s only one<\/p>\n
So soon he’ll learn that cheese can kill
\nForbidden fruit meets manly skill
\nFrom then our home will be rat-free
\nAnd I’ll have saved my family.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
