O but to be the steely eyed killer.. To take this rat by the tail and... Kick some major league tail!!! This rat, this critter that stalks me, that pitter patters and walks free... Taking the Pbutter so very slick. Making me run, grab a long stick.... OH how I would like to rid it of my house This rat so long, so much bigger than a pooor wittle bitty old mouse! It sits up high on the hearth of the stack.. It sits there cheeping, behind my back. It sits and smacks it’s lips, wags it’s tail... I swear if I don’t win....one of us is gonna go.... to jail!!! Those eyes, so beady, so small and dark under a raisey eyebrow, so stark... They shimmer and shine as they stare.... Looking at me, Hey, don’tcha dare? I broke out the trap for an itty bitty mouse It only clipped off a few whiskers or more. I got the rat trap, this huge contraption... Thinking this is it, the rat’s damnation. The trap was set above the chimney with care... In hopes that this rat, so filthy...would dare.... The Pbutter fresh, I cried as I laced the plate.. My Pbutter, giving it up....I sure do really hate... The cat sat on the floor, as fat as could be... Thought it was pregnant, only just fat, you see... The rat ran circles in the ceiling like a track star... Come on down Rat....you are pushin this.... Just a little too far... The moon wasn’t out, the sun didn’t shine... I grabbed the shotgun...this Rat, it is mine... The first shot was high...a hole did appear... Oh darn, oh drat, I hope the sky is clear... The second was low, the rat jumped high The shot went beneath...this rat’s really sly... The third finally caught the end of his tail... There would have been a fourth.....but shoot... I am writing this from jail!! [This message has been edited by Magnus (12-11-2002 11:20 PM).] |

Funny Magnus and I know the feeling, I've got a tiny visitor that loves to eat my peanut butter but doesn't have the decency to get caught..unless he's going to pay rent I'm gonna get him! |

Very, very cute, Barry. Even a itty teeny bitty mouse is a large, huge, ugly RAT to me. If I saw one, I'd probably end up in the hospital from breaking my neck, trying to hop up onto a chair.....  "Love makes the world go around" |

Methinks there is a moral to this "tail"---but that really isn't important to me. I just got my jollies and now I'm off! hehe ~ You really tickled my bone of funny with this one! EA |
