The Rat Race Poem by Dorsey Baker

When the ocean becomes too full
Of water its got to
Come to the land
A boy becomes too full of himself
Because he wants to be
A grown up man

Everything
Anything
That becomes too full of itself
It's got to overflow!

All that stuff!
It's got to have
Some place to go!

When the world
Gets too full of itself
It's going to
Take up
Some of your space
When the world gets big enough
You just might have to
Move some other place!

Because the competition
Just might
Get too tough
Then life itself
Becomes a rat race!
