There was a loud sound
Like a fire cracker burst underground
below the round mound
Grandma jumped out of her bed
hearing the raucous
raging at burglars invading her kitchen precious
Grandma flung the swat
thinking that it was a rat
who knocked kitchen containers flat
Poor old Grandma could not sleep
and she looked for rats who creep
peering in the dark
Grandma tries all means
traps and swats and medicine wraps
to kill the rats in heaps.
Dear old grandma who told us stories
and put us to sleep
had to stay awake
