the rats dance


The rats dance
Out of the holes
In the rainy season
The cats all gone away
Leaving the homes
The free passage way
The rats have the full time
Running wild with food in stores
For the rainy days
The cats aren't coming
The rats have the field day
Dancing on the tables
On the kitchen sinks
Behind closed doors

The day will come
When the bulldogs arrive
Saliva flowing hungry in their eyes
They will hunt in loudly snarling
The rats will have a hard time
Playing catch up on the run

For now the rats are free
The whole space full of cheesy food
The rats can't believe their good fortunes
The rainy days bring them the supplies
For the cats are living away
Leaving the homes for the rats to play

The cold wind will whisper
Telling them of the bulldogs
The van is carrying them over
Within hour they will arrive
But the rats smile
We have our times
We will make our marks
Then we will disappear
Back into the holes”
