Halloween rat

I remember one halloween
My brother, mother, and me
Daddy, too
He was blue

We drove out to maw and paw’s
To an oasis of the lark
Had my rat
He wore a hat

The halloween rat sang and danced
Once he even pissed his pants
He had blood
Fur in mud

Wore my mask with fake red blood
Dropped my halloween rat in mud
He was mad
Mad at dad

Daddy met his sister there
We were glad that she was fair
Smooth black hair
Everywhere

I pulled out my halloween rat
Made him dance and toss his hat
He wore mud
Under blood

I put fake blood on my halloween rat
It had a strange smell, like sour candle wax
Made him foul
Not allowed

She did not like my halloween rat
She disapproved, and that was that
Sad, sad rat
Lost his hat

My halloween rat stays inside
He never left, he never died
He wears blood
Through the mud
