Poem for the passing of our Rat

Ode to Fatty Neck

Oh fatty-neck
I tear out my hair and rend my breast at your passing
Oh fatty-neck
I wail my grief for the world to hear
Oh fatty-neck
I loved you with all my heart

Gone are your jibes
Gone is the soft warmth of your little rat body
Gone are your tiny licks upon my fingers

I endure despondent
Wrapped in despair at your passing
My life dark with the absence of your light

P-diddy bane I name thee
Flesh biter I call thee
Friend I mourn thee

Run free upon the fluffs of heaven
Find your rattie kin and triumph
Eat all the soy you want and never grow another fatty chin

I loved you, my friend
I will flood the earth with my tears
And ever lasting will be the shining memory of you
My precious rattie friend
