MUZZLING MEAN RATS

MUZZLING MEAN RATS


The fools rush in where angels fear to tread,
Rather than argue facts, they shout instead.
They often have paranoid tendencies;
Like a bull, everywhere they just see red.

Just as a rabid dog does venom drool,
So does spout profanities a vile fool.
His unending constant nonsense chatter
Can make even a sane man lose his cool.

The best way to deal with a fool is this:
Never ever forget this wise dictat:
“Do not expect a mean rat to behave,
It has to behave simply like a rat.”

Why not leave a mean squeaking rat as such?
Trying to muzzle it may not mean much.
