Don’t Anger a Rat!

The rats stood shoulder to shoulder

After the cleansing Summer rain

And gazed at the double rainbows

Over the vast and wild terrain.

Then noses twitched and whiskers flicked.

With disbelief and sadness.

Who, they wondered, in their grief,

Was responsible for this madness.

Where there had once been fields of flowers

There now grew only weeds.

How could this have happened?

We planted many seeds!

The largest rat among the group

Raised a sword o'er his head.

The words that he then spoke aloud

Filled them all with dread.

We shall find the one who did this

And I warn them to be wary.

For even the very smallest rat

When angered, is quite scary!
