dedalus Posted December 27, 2014 Share Posted December 27, 2014 Mrs. Dixon had a cat. Fancy that. This animal was a chiller, a total killer, the enemy of every rat. Late on Christmas Day, the cat went out to play. He had murder in his heart and could not wait to start his dark and wicked way. Suddenly, from the ceiling, a giant rat, an enormous rat, pounced on the cat’s back and bit his silly head off.

tonyv Posted January 22, 2015 Share Posted January 22, 2015 In Boston, my friend asked an exterminator whether it had been his fine work or the tough looking alley cats that had been cutting down on the rat population. The honest man admitted that a rat and a cat is actually a pretty fair fight and that the hawks who have migrated in from western Massachusetts get the credit for the cleanup. They can be seen perching on the roofs of tall buildings, even highrises, and they have found a plentiful source of nutrition to "hunt" with relative ease. A nice ditty, Brendan.
