a wharf rat climbed through my window
down the bedpost across my pillow
he nibbled on my rosy cheeks
with his teensy little needle teeth
then he massaged my sleeping skin
until his weensy claws sank in

the wharf rat unzipped his hair
revealing a pink suit under there
and he showed off his polished halo
he was a handsome, charming male, oh
but me thinks he was a mama’s boy
and I could see right through his ploy

he said he would change the sheets on my bed
tidy my kitchen, paint the town red
he promised to help eat my groceries
handwash my undies and hoseries
he’d be as quiet as a mouse
if I’d just let him live in my house

but he was a wharf rat, after all
hiding behind roses and climbing walls
gnawing on my telephone lines
broken headlights were his eyes
when I swept him out my door
and he hissed like a steamy radiator

the wharf rat had to go, you see
and so I swept him down the street
cuz even though that rat was sweet
I knew he’d chase my sister’s feet
