the rat didnt escape

The rat! The rat!
The little rascal came
I didn't know when
Maybe climbed through the open windows
The food in the refrigerator
A wayward rat thinking of scoring big

It hid behind the kitchen door
Then hid in the boxes
I managed to poke it out
It ran quickly under the refrigerator

I tried using thin pole
Spraying insecticide
The little rat refused to bulge
I moved the refrigerator a few times
Finally it hopped out ran away
There was no escape
All the exit doors closed

A few times I missed
Hammered it with my broom
I am out of practice
The rat survived a little longer

Underneath the refrigerator
It went to hide again
I sprayed and poked the rat
Finally it ran out
I whacked the poor little fellow
With my broom drained out its life
The rat died quivering out of its breath

I put it in plastic bag
Tomorrow it will be sent
Into the rubbish bin
No proper burial
It has to be this way
A new life another time
I end its miserable life
A cycle begins
A best one I wish for the rat
