I know this is a very sad tone in this poem, but I was thinking about Templeton the other day, and how we used to sneak food out of the caf to feed to him.This work certainly relates well the feelings you have for him despite his age.

oh...sweet that's what this poem is...i'm not a fan of rats...but hay great poem and really well writen, you know even though it is talking about rat..i see a guy when i am reading it...probley beacuse guys are rats hehe
