Their hygiene’s infelicitous,
They’re greedy and duplicitous;
They’re sneaky as solicitors -
Oh never trust a rat!
Last night one came to visit us;
He chewed my favourite hat.
He was so very rattish; you'd
Agree, I think, his attitude
Was vile. It’s more than platitude
To say that rats’ ingratitude
Is known in every latitude.
I really liked that hat he chewed.
If it had been the cat he chewed,
I should have felt less grief.
That hat was natty that he chewed -
I’m pained beyond belief.
