Foiled Again

Ratus ratus
Ratus norvegicus
Rats
One small
One unusually
Large as
As big
Cats
Who bailed
Off a ship
In the harbor
In Seattle
Who came to
Our village
Near the coast
To scare the
You know what
Out of me
Literally
She was huge
I had to run
Or be eaten
They were
Everywhere
It was the Law
Eat a rat
The Law will
Take care It's
Own
Hands
