Rat Race
by John Agard
Rat Race?
Don't make us laugh.
It's you humans
who're always in a haste.
Ever seen a rat
in a bowler hat
rushing to catch a train?
Ever seen a rat
with a briefcase
hurrying through the rain?
And isn't it a fact
that all that hurry-hurry
gives you humans heart
attacks?
No, my friend,
we rats relax.
Pass the cheese,
please.
