Rat Moves

I hear a strange noise
Just above my head
Bugger bugger bugger
It fills me with dread

Blackcat looks up
Her eyes are like saucers
Ears are twitching
She's plotting her courses

The very next day
There has to be action
I can't stand for this
There's been an invasion

Up goes the ladder
The ceiling space lit
But who am I kidding
I'm never gona fit

So I place, from the top step
The trap that might fix
The critters that moved in
Before they mingle and mix

But now what I hear
All day and all night
Is banging and crashing
Waking me with a fright

They're having a party
Up there in the roof
You should come listen
If you need any proof

Rats as big as cats
From the noise they're making
I really must stop
This claim that they're staking

The next plan of action
Will have to be brutal
Here's hoping the results
Will be a little more fruitful

Back up the ladder
I go with intent
In goes the bait
I'll get them, I'm hellbent

"Eat that you vermin"
I think to myself
It might be tasty but
It's not good for your health

But alas... Now they are up there
Playing soccer with the bait
Or maybe they're tap dancing
Not yet knowing their fate

They will get the last laugh
Of that I am sure..
The smell, it will linger
For 2 months or more....
