The exercise:

Write a four line poem about a: rat.

I'm hoping that the prompt is inspired by the event I've referenced in the poem today and not by actual rats. As it seems like that would be bad, whether at home or at work.

The rat
The Chinese New Year starts tonight:
The Year of the Rat,
But he already knew that. Soft footsteps
Tiptoe in and he opens his eyes.

Greg - indeed, I am happy to report you've got it right. If there was a rat discovery or issue in the new place... well. I'd have gone into more than just making it a prompt, that's for sure!

Are you... are you starting another yearlong poem?
