    THE FRUIT OF THE RAT

    FRUIT OF THE RAT

     

    LIKE A GHOST YOU CAN NOT SEE

    THEY PEEK AND THEY PEER

    WAITING UNTIL NO ONE IS NEAR

    THEN THEY RUN AS FAST AS IT CAN

    TO GO TO PLACES, TO GET FAT AGAIN

    SOMEPLACE WITH PLENTY OF SHADE

    SOMEPLACE FULL OF FRUITS

    SOMEPLACE TO HIDE

    WHEN SOMEONE IS NEAR

    THE RAT EATS AND HIDES

    THEY PEEK AND THEY PEER

    WAITING FOR THE MOMENT YOU DISAPPEAR

    YET THE RATS DAY IS OF PLEASURE

    AND NOW IT’S TIME TO TAKE SOME MEASURE

    TO CATCH THAT DIRTY RAT THIEF

    HIS TIME HAS BEEN LONG

    BUT NOW HIS TIME IS SHORT

    THE FRUIT OF THE RAT

    IS WHATS GOING TO GET HIM CAUGHT

    SNAP

    CRACK

    HE WILL NEVER BE BACK

    Poetry is not a turning loose of emotion, but an escape from emotion.
