Fiona The Rat Poem by VICTORIA GEORGE

I had a tame rat named Fiona
I bought her last year on e-Bay
The ad said ‘one careful owner’
So I was happy to take her away.

Fiona and I had such joyful times
We played games and had nice days out
Her favourite drink was tequila and lime
And her favourite food was steamed trout

One day as I was cleaning her tudor style house
I noticed she wasn’t alone
It looked to me like a little grey mouse
Fiona had a babe of her own!

I decided to put them back in the wild
Fiona and son should be free
I found a big hole in the kitchen floor tiles
And they scampered away with some glee
