Pack Rat
I saw this poem on the Old Tools Digest , submitted by Bill Taggart .
Written in a children's book by Jack Prelutsky , "Zoo Doings "
The Pack Rat
The pack rat's day is spent at play
Collecting useless stuff.
No matter what the pack rat's got,
He's never got enough.
Nails and tacks and wire and wax,
A knife, a fork, a feather,
Large or tiny, dull or shiny,
Tin or bone or leather.
Sticks and socks and spoons and rocks
And nuts that squirrels lose,
Rings and strings, peculiar things
A rat could never use.
The pack rat saves and stores in caves
Strange treasures smooth and knobby.
It's not from greed nor out of need,
He does it as his hobby.
