Bat the Rat

Through weary years we swat
ted flies, which swatted us-'twas
tit for tat and now we're
asked to nobly rise, like armored
knights, and bat the rat. We
swatted flies at your behest, oh,
tireless sanitation crank; we
drove the critters galley west, and
smoSe them hip and thigh and
flank. And ever, in our sad
career, one hope was burning in
our breast; ''the autumn time will
soon be here" we murmured,
"and we'll then have rest. Then
we may lay our swatters down,
we poor exhausted, f1y-specked
men. and idly navigate the town,
and play the slot machines
again" But now the autumn time
is come, the flies are mostly lying
fiat, by chilly evenings rendered
numb-and we must start to bat
the rat. 1t has all seasons for its
own, the rodent we are asked to
swat; it hourishes when billiards
moan, it is on deck when winds
are hot So we begin this endless
stunt like martyrs of an elder day,
the more we bat, the more we
hunt, the more we'll find to slug
and slay. And when we've batted
till we're sore, and tears are
streaming from our eyes, we'll
wish we might resume once more
the gentle sport of swatting flies.
