poor little rat (revised)
i was peacefully watching tele
involved in scotch
and quite a full belly
when from the kitchen rustlings came
i knew that there was no-one home
my flatmates errant
rage, rave and roam
so for rustlings someone else to blame
i crept up slow and took a look
there was a rat
intently chewing on my book
oh you rodent shame shame shame
the warrior within me woke
i grabbed a hefty stick
then that heathenous rat did poke
one mighty blow did smite it lame
