The Tracinator and DRHH (dear rat-hating hubby) are having friends and their hairless rats over for a pizza making party tonight. And, yes, the rats will be getting their own little 'za. I realized I needed to post something in celebration, but my house was in terrible need of cleaning, which sucked out all of my creative juices. Therefore, as I have done in the past, I appealed to my friend Nicodemus to provide a poem celebrating both rats and pizza. Here it is:
"Let the Rat Pizza Rise"
Exert yourself, the poetess cried
I need a poem, and although I've tried
My meter is mixed, my subjects are worse:
Can you please put rats and pizza to verse?
First mix flour and yeast and water
Leave for a shake of a rat's tail, you oughta
Add salt and knead it, till smooth and elastic
The rats will find the flavor fantastic
Don't top it with cheese, don't top with tomatoes
Instead use a puree of yams (sweet potatoes)
Instead use bananas or raisins or oyster
(whatever you wish to make it taste moister)
And people can eat all this rat pizza too
They might even like the sweet potato goo
So good luck to rats and to pizza and all
(but keep the cats locked in the room down the hall).
