Rat city attacks

My heart pounds when I see

the tail wrap around my bag.

I hear claws and teeth ripping,

scratching, tearing my sheets.

It yips. It squeals. It runs.

What does it want???

I think it wants me!

Immediately I get out of my tent.

I will NOT be its next meal.

I am so tired of losing to these rats.

This one makes me oh-for-twenty-six

with these rat city attacks.
