There was a time when
Rats roamed freely in my house
They had plenty to eat
Nibbled at all things
Ate the cockroaches and other insects
Tore open the stored grain bags
And their noisy families grew manifolds
And then as it so happened
The supply of food dwindled
The grain bags not replaced
The crowds of rats grew thin
And then vanished
Once more
The nasty cockroaches and the like
Were seen freely moving in my house
