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!...

Crazy Kaylee

The whole neighborhood knew Kaylee was crazy. 

She mowed her lawn to prevent “overgrowth” instead of letting the grass grow as much as it wanted. She pulled out the weeds from her garden when they were a natural part of the outdoors. She swept the floors, washed the dishes, did the laundry, and kept everything tidy when messiness was simply a natural part of life. 

She claimed she couldn’t leave the place “unkempt.” But everyone knew that their houses weren’t unkempt, with their lawns of four-foot-tall grass, weedy gardens, dirty floors, and dish-filled sinks. 

No way.

They simply had character.
