they're not like moths,
eating only fur, wool, and natural silk,
rats eat plastic or chew gum; they're not fussy.  

- they adapt  easily to any home,
it doesn't have to be luxurious,
in the country or the city,
- when moving to a new home
the first thing they do, - they multiply as quickly as possible,

- i admire rat women,
after giving birth seven times a year, the males abandon them
without leaving a note, a letter, or alimony,
and they become  strong, durable, ready for the tuff life,

- i also admire the intelligence of the male rat
they understood well how not to turn nature into whining,
"what doesn't **** you strengthens you."

- it is fascinating how the large ones are the heads on sewers and basements,
and the little ones are the bosses on the ceilings and roofs,

- roof rats are named astrologers,
looking at the stars and the moon, writing poems,
composing music,
  climbing,
climbing now, as you read,
climbing on the window of your room
