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!...

Blood Red Bananas: Drabble

The bananas here used to be yellow once upon a time. Now they’re blood red. Nobody is quite sure why. Maybe it was because of a lab explosion that happened a few months ago, its chemicals toxifying the rain and falling onto the bananas. Maybe it was because of an invasive species of earthworms that had somehow burrowed themselves into the soil and made the banana groves their home. Or maybe it was because Grandma painted them red herself because valentine’s day was coming, and she insisted the bananas looked prettier that way. I have a hunch it’s the latter.
