Little Rat

Oh little rat,
so furry and fat,
why are you in my walls?

You skritch-scratch at night.
I hold my bed covers, so tight...
thief of my land of Nod.

Oh little rat,
so furry and fat,
THIS is your chance to leave!

I think you'd much rather,
not be a little rat cadaver,
but spend the night snacking on cheese.

Oh little rat,
so furry and fat,
it really is time to go!

The cat's on his way,
it's not a game you should play,
and tragedy lies at the end.

Oh little rat,
so furry and fat,
the choice is now up to you...

Get caught in a trap,
run away from the cat,
but I'd choose the hole in the wall!

Fool's Folly

Love is a fool, 
but I wouldn't have it any other way.

Why should such fancies,
be governed by the mind?

The sum of the heart,
can't be found through a problem of math.
(or purchased online)

Love is a fool, 

but I wouldn't have it any other way.

It's in the element of spark and surprise,

in a flash, there, light and illumination.

The moment of stillness,

between two, on a summer's day.

(at the cusp of night)

Love is a fool, 

but I wouldn't have it any other way.

The fool lives within each of us,
looking for an invitation to court.

My Converse are ready for the party,
these Chucks were made to dance.
(now where is that damn fool?!)
