Rats! Why is Diy never easy?

Yesterday I took out one of the cupboards by the fireplace, underneath I found part of an old fireplace which I had to take out to bring it down to floor level. Underneath the top layer of old bricks was an old pipe which at one time must have been connected to the drains and inside guess what I found……  an old dried up rat!!!

Lying in bed this morning I was thinking we should give the rat a proper burial, after all it must have been there for years. Perhaps we’ll say a few words….

Here lies a rat all old and dried,
who crawled up a pipe,
and discovered he was too wide,
…so he died

the end
