There's a rat,
Timid, black and ugly.
Lives in a hole,
Unsighted by the world,
Unseen by people.
Nothing he has,
that made him proud.
A rat,
an apathetic one,
who thought he knew the world.
One lucky day,
He saw a cheese.
It's not just a normal cheese,
By just the sight of it,
he knew it's the most wonderful of all.
Thinking and pondering,
Hesitating and contemplating.
To go for it,
Yet afraid of the danger surrounds,
he left wondering, should he?
Moments flew by,
Cheese is still left untouched.
A thought emerged,
the cheese will be his eventually,
he will come by some other time.
Days passed by,
Cheese is still secured.
The little rat.
Timid as always still,
taking the cheese for granted.
An abrupt movement,
He was alerted.
Another rat has came,
Out of the blues,
Which caught him off guard.
The lovely cheese,
Was pouched away.
Disappeared and vanished,
from the sight he was so accustomed to,
It's now gone forever.
The rat,
Still as timid as he is.
Nothing was done and taken,
Helpless in one hand,
Or just simply pathetic in mind.
An inexplicable sorrow,
emerged from his timid heart.
The cheese he took granted for,
Is not merely just a cheese,
It's his beautiful dream.
And now it's gone, and gone for good.
