The girl with the rat: The Girl With A Rat

The girl with the rat
Who thinks she's a cat
Was walking the park on a warm winter's day
They climbed up a tree
Just her and just he
And also a slide they had ventured to play
In an old horseshoe pit
They played for a bit
Meandering through the tall grass and the weeds
The wind softly blew
And right then they knew
That a nice day like this is what everyone needs
She held him a while
And said with a smile
"I think that girl there is watching us, two."
And so they went home
And I was alone
But inspired to finally write something new
The girl with the rat
Who thinks she's a cat
Moved me so deeply that warm winter day
Just walking on by
To give fun a try
And play so quietly in the park far away
