(D)RAT !!!

Work at 7 am ; I figured there wasn't a worse way
To start the week, than toiling on a holiday.
When I heard a rustling from the nearby dustbin
To my horror, realized something was jumping within
It looked quite big and grey.

Grabbed my bag, did a hundred metre sprint ... vroom!!!
In search of someone with a trap or a broom
It ran past me to a room nearby
I heaved a mighty sigh
'Twas the end of it, I did wrongly assume.

Stretched out my legs, thinking the coast was clear
Another scooted past me, I screamed in fear.
Stuck to my chair in a foetal curl
Shrilled like a schoolgirl
Till the janitor made sure that it had disappeared.

The two legged ones, I've managed (so far) with ease
But two rats brewing up a storm, sans any cheese
The pitter patter of tiny feet
Made my heart skip a beat.
From four legged rodents, God grant me surcease.


Liff As I Know It!
