I don’t know what it’s called, or
If it’s called anything, but I did
Every other verse in Haiku form
Rat race; hate that word
I shudder to think of it
Human race…not rats!
A pity that some humans
Live like rats in tunnels
Where steel boxes run just
like them
Rat-tailed comb – feel faint
Don’t you put that in my hair
Clawing at my scalp
I’d rather get a straight part
With a no tailed comb that glides
Through my hair without my
Worrying about it falling in my
Lap
What is a rat fink?
Someone bad that tells on you?
I abhor that word
I’ve done nothing so there’s
Nothing to tell. I can’t imagine
A rodent standing on its hind
Legs talking about me
.
A mouse and mouse pad
I guess it’s a rat’s cousin
Housed in a condo
They are the only things I can
Tolerate, they’re the only things
That lets me type my poems. I slide
Across the floor holding its back
And pushing its left ear
Ratty love to you....lol...
Rats in general are okay......but if they die in your ceiling....God they can stink....had one in mine last week.....lol....
I stay on a farm and have this problem of the rats getting into my garage and then into my ceiling....and at night they sound like soccer players .....scary thought hey.....but at least I know they are not ghosts....hehehe
Love Tinka

Enjoyed this--the format, expression, and the humor...
Wow, sounds like a horrific affinity, Marilyn...scary write, I never was too afraid of mice, hardly ever saw a rat, couple dead ones that were extremely large and ugly...oh, man, get these thoughts out of my head!! Creepy old rats!
Now this is the levity we all need tonight. I just had my hairdresser over to trim my bangs with a rat tailed comb. Funny now but I must go and read this to her. She will die laughing. Thank you immensely for the fun. We all are in need of uplifting.
Love and peace,
