"Rats rats doing rattish things,
listen to us here: we dance and sing!
Causing trouble, breaking rules,
you wouldn't dare cross us, unless you're a fool!"
chanted the rats in unison.
"Listen quick and listen good,
listen to me, you know you should
I'm the big rat, you do as I say,
so step back in line or I'll make you pay!"
Hollered the giant rat who'd just entered the scene. The rats then declared they were going to cause some trouble before exiting via stage right.
LEWIS' CASTLE
ENGLAND 1986
"Golly, I'm mighty tired." declared Lewis, who was wearing a fursuit. Lewis had just retired from his furry convention where the mass yiff had occurred. While he was sat upon his red leather throne he realized that there was a draft inside his castle.
"Hmm.... I must've left a window open."
Lewis thought aloud. He arose from his seat before making his way to a relatively large window. As he leant outwards to grab the handle, he felt something brush against his leg.
"Yikes!" Lewis exclaimed. He jumped in fear and was launched headfirst out the window! Luckily, there was a flagpole jutting out of the wall a few stories down, which his trouser leg got caught on. However, this is a rather useless detail as his trouser ripped and Lewis plummeted to his doom. Luckily for Lewis he landed in the moat (remember, it's a castle.)
"Crafty gints, now I'm all soggy" whined Lewis before he promptly passed out. (Don't worry, he didn't drown but instead floated back to land.) Lewis awoke the next morning only to realize he was terribly ill, probably got a cold or something since he was dripping wet no thanks to his little swim.
"Frick" He uttered, trying to avoid using naughty language since it's distasteful. Lewis trudged over to the great wooden door of his castle, but found it to be locked. He thought this was because the door was locked from the inside, but this theory was quickly disproved by one terrifying sound...
"Rats rats doing rattish things,
listen to us here: we dance and sing!
Causing trouble, breaking rules,
you wouldn't dare cross us, unless you're a fool!"
"What!? What is this!?" Lewis exclaimed, fear lacing his tone.
"We're the rats, and we've taken your castle as our own! Oh the boss will be so pleased!" came a rat's reply from within.
"I don't know who you are, or what your boss wants with my property, but I demand you leave my home this instant!"
"No" came the rat's second reply.
Lewis sat down upon the damp grass and pondered the absurdity of the situation. Unamused, he wondered why the rats even wanted to live in his castle and quickly decided he would have to take action and deal with this problem himself...
