[ warning :This is an extremely silly post just like the previous ones ,but i now care about you and hence this warning, so if you are allergic to silly and/or have a history of being in fully self aware state, kindly take a can full of chocolates before you start reading this, and if you are allergic to chocolates too,oh man that would be real bad ]
Let me start this story post by telling you something about dreaming. One has to be careful, very careful about what you say in your dreams. sometimes you say something which may seem perfectly fine and next thing you know the cannabala tribes are boiling you in a huge pot making a stew or you are being chased by huge mammoths and dinosaurs ..oh man! that is not good.
There are hundred things you should avoid doing and a thousand things you should not say but the thing which starts with ‘rat’ is absolutely a big no-no if you happen to be in a jungle in your dreams
want to know why..well ok this why
when my daughter was 7
we were having a very serious bedtime discussion about animal talk
and i said moo says the cow i want a hat
and meow said the cat i wish cheese didn’t have so much fat
i am here croaked a frog in the bog
i know hissed a snake hiding under a log
my daughter said what if they said things that rhymed with their name
i thought wow that would be some game
sure why not i said we will play that game next time
and both of us fell asleep
♣ what happened after that ♣
i was in a jungle
somewhere in antarctica
there i met a flying octopus who told me
this story
about this one time
when a cat said- lets us just say things
that rhymes with our names
and everyone else agreed
so the cat said rat a tat a tat
rat said rat a tat a tat
bat said rat a tat a tat too
so did the duck-billed platypus
well he said his body was flat ,
and he didn’t want to say cuss fuss bus
and then for some reason every animal
found it cool and soon it became fashion to say
rat a tat a tat
and just to say that and be in fashion
they claimed they too had some flat body part
or an ancestor that was flat
or a name that was flat if you read it
on a lot of homework day
So the elephant said its ear was flat
zebra said its stripes were flat
crocodile said flat was his laugh
except for hyena
who could not find anything
but 10 days later came up with an reason to say
rat a tat a tat
and he said his thoughts were flat
and every animal for the next one year just said
rat a tat a tat
but after a year they all got bored
and that was that
and now they hate it so much
that they run after anyone who says
rat a tat a tat
♠♠
so next time you go to a jungle
say what ever you want to
just not that which starts with rat.
That’s it, now go to sleep
and remember, no matter what happens in dream
do not say that phrase that ends with a tat.
i hope it helps.
