Rat

There once was a rat, who’s name was Pat.
He ran down the stairs to get to the mat.
When he got there he found a plate.
And on that plate was a piece of cake.
He scoffed it down and after that.
He was now Pat, the fat hairy rat.
He wobbled up the stairs, til he got to the top.
Took a few steps before he went POP!
His body flew to the top of the roof.
Not realising he was in a photo booth.
After a few photos with his friend Tim.
He found himself inside a bin.
And in that bin he found he found an apple.
Took one look at it and started to cackle.
He climbed out of the bin and into another room.
Walked for a little bit and ran into a broom.
