The rat smelt the rice;
The rice began to smell the rat.
The cockroaches launched a rattling coup;
The kitchen became their domain.
The ants were unmindful of their size;
The faster ones were the softer.
The biting ones were a bewildering lot.
The neighbourly cat never bothered about
Norms of etiquette.
The spiders were busy making
Their cobwebs unmade.
Behind these invasions unruly,
Did pass on the pact and principle of co-existence
As the unwritten article of mutual faith.
P.Chandrasekaran.
