This was for my creative writing class in 11th grade
I am a sewer rat,
Scavenging amongst the rubble in the sewer,
Looking for food and a nice home,
The smell of rotting flesh of decaying bodies fills the air,
Murdered, butchered, now in my gutter

Rotting food good enough to eat,
Enough for my family and I,
Smelly fish attract the sewer gator,
Nearly eaten alive with half my tail and feet missing,
I’m starting to decay, starting to rot,
Maggots feast on me, I’m their sewer rat
