Run, Rat, Run (Second Version)

Run, rat, run! Run as fast as you can. You must run to earn your bread! If you stop running, You will earn nothing And you won’t be able to get fed. Run, rat, run! Run early in the morning Or run late into the night. Either wake up before Mr. Sun Or wake up with the Man in the Moon For you cannot afford respite. Run, rat, run! You’re the best runner we have! The most successful racer by far! Keep running at this pace And you just might win the race! Thank you for giving us all that you are. Run, rat, run! What’s this? You want extra crumbs? Proposturous! Utterly ridiculous! You’re not even that speedy And you’re already being greedy. You cannot possibly be serious. Run, rat, run! Don’t slow down now Though you puff and you pant for air. If you keep running You will stop foolishly thinking That this life isn’t right or fair. Run rat run! Don’t stop now! You must run all day, all night long! If you really hope to thrive And you really want to survive  You must continue to run strong!...

Change of Plans


I would have liked to be here at night rather than at five in the morning, but plans get sidetracked by life and must be dealt with accordingly. Just like when Mr. Mitchel “accidentally” shot all of my egg-laying hens in my property because he mistook them for quails and didn’t realize he had trespassed. To deal with it, I had to get money by working for another farmer. I kneel in the tall grass, taking inventory of Mr. Mitchel’s cows in his backyard. He had three calves, seven cows, and one bull. Now, which ones should I shoot?
