A poem about human nature.
Rats’ em all
Quite a few, yes many like us
Unfurl others’ weaknesses untold
Without a fuss
They so behave all of ‘em
Like rats behave, rats’ em all
Have you not seen the movie?
‘Sink the Titanic’
When the ship was sinking
Most of ‘em jumped over board
Like rats, rats’ em all
The only ones who stuck like plastering glue
Were the Captain and others,
Though very, very few
The musicians played
Till the end
When the beautiful girl
With her handsome boy friend
Rocked each other
Rather uncaringly,
In full view of all in all
They fell in sexual love after all
Except them, wow, a beautiful couple
All were like rats, rat’s em all
Do you understand what I say?
Some of us thus actually betray
When others sunkenly weep
We don’t try to really dig deep
We abandon one and all
Ah! You see some of us are
Like bloating rats after all
Yes all of ‘em, big and small
Yes some of us actually are
Like those rats,
Rat’s ‘em all
