The Modern Day Rat Poem by Nick Krakana

That day George Orwell wrote about
Back then now is here

When neighbor, friend or stranger
Ratted to local authorities so near

Drive to slow and weave a bit
No matter how trivial it be

A knock will come upon your door
Stating presumably what the rat did see

Oh my just where we going
Imagine the old west with phoneology

His horse just shit a rat did say
Quick cell call the sheriff he'll take him away

Sounds to harsh to hear you say
It's the modern sabre of choice today

Mind your business they used to say

Watch out you
I got a cell and I'll rat on you today
