Gnaw

I might just once have consciousness,

To save a poor stranded bird,

That flutters about in observance,

Of the terrors of this world.



Or maybe a cat who has lost its way,

And wants to find its home,

Give the creature another day,

So it no longer roams.



Even sentiments for a buffalo,

That wanders in from the wetlands,

That needs to have a show,

Of a helping hand.



But a rat I cannot compass'.

For its gnawing and pestilence,

And the greater of its feature cache,

I leave in my defence.


Author's Notes/Comments: 

I need a RAT like I need a cure for beauty.

I think i'm a poet but here you caught me red handed with my pecker in one hand and my pooper in the other.
