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!...

New Year’s Resolutions


“I’ve decided on my New Year’s resolution,” Jason said.

Sarah dumped protein powder into her milk. “Which is…?”

“Nothing. What’s your New Year’s resolution?”

“To take over the world.”

Jason winced. “You need a more realistic goal.”

Sarah chugged down her protein shake. “Like yours?”

“Kinda. Instead of the world, take over the city. Start small.”

“Why start small when I can start big?”

“Wait, you’re growing?!” Jason looked at the protein’s ingredients. “What’s in this stuff?!”

“Years of research. Now, if you’ll excuse me–” Sarah burst through the roof. “I must say Happy New Year to the United Nations.”
