A real rat experience

Rats, irritating creatures Of course I respect them due to humanity But obviously not in my home. Few months back there entered one Into the basement of my abode. I applied all the tricks to expel that mouse Which went in vain I didn't want to use any violent means That was the strain. And lo! She gave birth to her offsprings Which must be a wonderful feeling for her But for me it was haunting. I could see few of them crawling They ate the lid of a ghee container Were going in and out playfully I saw & waited for them to leave my dwelling gracefully. When everything seemed to stop working Through my mind I tried to convey a message to the mother That I am a non-violent creature Please don't compel me to use a violent measure. Though I didn't have 'that' strong faith That it would work But to my surprise after a few weeks I noticed now there are no jerks. I was so merrily amazed Deep in my heart that 'rat' I praised I thanked her to got what I told She kept my faith. Indeed there are lots of experiences Which are impossible to unfold. Perhaps she chose my house for her delivery Tho' I was a bit quivery. Pleasant day buddies!!! Medhavi :-)
