Ode to the Rat

Start writing... My major rat, you inspire me to write.

I love the way you swim, swim and paddle,

Invading my mind day and through the night,

Always dreaming about the bad cadelle.

Let me compare you to a hungry moon?

You are more mortal, placid and acid.

Cold sun heats the portal peaches of June,

And summertime has the antic jassid.

How do I love you? Let me count the ways.

I love your frantic ankle, eyes and thumb.

Thinking of your mantic eyes fills my days.

My love for you is the bitter income.

Now I must away with an empty heart,

Remember my clad words whilst we're apart.
