Rat Rant

Please no, not a rat,

Anything but that,

Even a gnat,

Or an ugly bat,

But not that -

I come from no rat.

I like monkeys,

Can't I come from these

Primates that please,

Fur balls at ease -

Can't I come from these?

I like monkeys.

So what if they're tough?

They're ugly - no fluff,

No sparkle, all scruff -

I wish this was a bluff.

I've got sparkle and fluff,

Don't want to be that tough.

may have a rat like creature in our ancestry.
