Why?  Why do people post such nonsense poems on this group.
My "Ode to Shelli the Damager Goddess" poem was far better
than this rat poem.  Let me post another which shall serve
as the defacto standard for all you aspiring poem
writers:

                       A NEW RAT SONG
                       --------------

	              The rat's are wet
	              Because it rained.
	      But the mice in the classroom are dry.
	              They find that when 
	              They don't wear fur,
	      That their bodies get wet and they die.


(Sung to the tune of -- "Ode to Shelli, the Damager Goddess")
