I scurry to my hunting grounds
I eat anything, I eat it down
Gorging, hording, enjoyment from toiling,
what is gross is Sustenance from my playground,
I'll piggyback off of you
Here Piggy Piggy
let me have a chew...
I'm charged with saving a life?
it's going to cost you...
I'm no ****
just a rat for hire...
if you live on scraps
of the vile,
would you be gallant?
Not even for a while.
My dump is a sanctuary,
it will save your life Wilbur...
oink oink oink,
I'm Templeton the rat
the dump is my hero.
(I played the role of Templeton the Rat in a Theatre production of Charlotte's Web in December 2009).
