With Apologies To Dr. Seuss

I do not like to smell you, rats,
nor hear your sounds-and that’s a fact!

I do not like to smell your poo,
or think of what you do for food.

I do not like to hear you scratch,
opening the crawl space latch.

I do not like you out-of-doors,
I do not like you in our floors.

I do not like to have you, rats,
and please beware-for we have cats!
