Too bad I couldn't include the picture. =========================================================================== \Down in the Rat Lab/ (To the tune of Down in the Valley) Down in the rat lab, Some rats are females, Rat lab so low, Others are males. Hear the maze creaking, Some rats you can't tell, See the rats grow. They've lost their tails. Some rats are white ones, White rats are stupid, Some rats are black. Hooded rats bite. Some rats run forward, My rats are purple, Some rats run back. And glow in the night. Some rats are hungry, Some rats bring glory, Some cry of thirst. Some bring big fees. Some rats are sex starved, Others bring big grants, Those are the worst. My rats bring fleas. Some rats run mazes, Clinicians like people, Some junp for food. I like the rat. Some rats swim bravely, Basted in wine sauce, Some sit and brood. Served plump and fat. Some rats are good ones, Down in the rat lab, They behave fine. Rat lab so high, Others are bad rats, See the rats running, Those rats are mine. See grown men cry. ============================================================================ End of excerpt. -- Steve ms ----------------------------------------------------------------- gopher://quux.org/ conversion by John Goerzen of http://communication.ucsd.edu/A-News/ This Usenet Oldnews Archive article may be copied and distributed freely, provided: 1.
