The Visitor

I have a rat it’s a very sad fact

unlike my friend Xena’s pet Zak

it’s uninvited.

If only it would stay out of my way.

It has the right to play in the wild I say,

but not in my kitchen.

They carry disease too and cause great ado.

Don’t use a place for loo just drop their poo

anywhere.

And even though I feel real bad and Xena will probably call me a cad

and I have to admit I too feel sad but really I’d be mad

to let it stay.

So unfortunately I go to the council to get them to throw

some poison baits before they grow too numerous, for as you know

they breed like bloody rabbits.

I feel like a bitch but I have to admit I’m off to right now to get some bait

and I hope it goes away to submit ‘cos I try not to think of the animal’s fate

that will be my fault.
