-One Syllable Story-

My name is Pat and I am a fat rat. I have one blue eye and one green. My nose is red and will twitch when I smell cheese. I have four short legs that help me run from all the mean cats near my house. I am grey with one spot of black on my back. I have a long sleek tail that goes a wig and a wag as I walk. I live in a hole by a shop that makes bread. The smell is so good it drives me nuts. My pals and I go at night and eat the crumbs from the shop too add to our meal that day.

In the day I hang with my pals at the pub, go to the gym, or even go for a stroll in the city. I met a girl one day at the pub, her name is Sam. She is a nice girl; we like to hang out. My close pals agree that she is hot, and like her at our house by the shop. She is slim just like my bud Tim. She is smart and likes to have fun. When I first saw her it was love at first sight.

I like to sing and dance. I have a dream to be a star and show my gift to the world. I once knew a rat from down the way who is now a movie star. He is a big deal  here; I want to be just like him. Except, I will sing and play music for my rat buds.

At the pub, Sam and I sang a song that we wrote one night.  The crowd gave us a big clap at the end. When we took our walk off the stage, Sam gave me a peck on the lips. It made my whole night.
