Always poking, always peeking, Climbing, jumping, sometimes squeaking, Twitching whiskers, cunning faces, Hiding in the strangest places! Nibbling here and napping there, Always finds the time to spare A fuzzy "kiss" upon my cheek. Sometimes I wish that you could speak! Bright eyes shining full of love, A furry gift from up above. Always glad to have me near. Such a treasure! What a dear! Folks can have their cats and dogs, Horses, snakes, and even frogs. For me you stand out from the rest. No doubt about it- a RAT'S the best!
