Rats And Mice

 Few people ever say of them things that are nice

But they are Nature's great survivors rats and mice

Despite baiting and trapping as the years go by

In large numbers they do seem to multiply

Some children have a mouse or a rat for a pet

And when they are sick do take them to a vet

A pet mouse or rat is gentle and quiet

And the children who have them say they never bite

But of rats and mice human friends are few

And this is not saying anything that is new

And companies that manufacture rodent bait in sales doing financially well

Billions worth in baits every year they are known for to sell

Wild rats and mice disease to humans have been known for to spread

And many will tell you that the only good rat or mouse is one that is dead

They give birth to large families one of the reasons why

Humans cannot rid the World of them though their best to they do try

There are more rats and mice than human beings in the World of today

That they will survive Climate Change  of them one can say

They cause millions in money in damage to food every day of the year

And that they are Nature's survivors is obviously clear.
