Oh, rats

A gypsy boy he told a few

Silent runs in the midnight moon

His stealth and grace gave

Him a stool to boast that pride

And push past fools

 

But you're only a fool

Once or twice,

He would find out, to his demise

When he next rolled

That seductive dice, lost his swagger

To some rats he thought were mice

The end result

You guessed it

Right?
