Rats
Enjoy
Short but an
Exciting life
As tools of science
Relishing their part in
Cooperating with that
High science and researchish stuff
And contributing to the steady but
Slow but inevitable progress that
Science enjoys thanks to the exploitation
Imposed upon our small furry friends the dormice
Silently and patiently running those mazes and
Taking medications meant for much larger creatures than
Are they themselves and who fancy that they are better
looking;
Not little mammals with ugly tails who cannot talk
back to us
To
tell us that perhaps they aren’t very happy to be tested so.
