The Rat with Ears.

I love Nonsense Poetry. I'm in a silly mood now.

The Rat with Ears

A farmer once craved

to be the scientist of days

months, years, laughed

at by his peers.

“So a rat with ears

could spy on their jeers.”

He worked in his lab

on his tiny rat friend

in attempt at revenge.

So he went by the graves

and dug up in the nave,

to find himself a body.

He lopped off a man’s ears

with some gardening

shears, and sewed them

onto the rat.

With some

electrical shocks,

he opened the box,

and the rat came

listening out.

And once it was done

his mouth shone

like the sun and he

sent the rat out to spy.

It would crawl out

by day, and come

back by night,

and he’d wait, with

a twinkle in his eye.
