I had a pet rat her name was Babett
she was my best friend by far,
when out one day to the local pet store and brought her home in my car.
At first she was sickly and seemed kinda weak
and I wondered if she would even live,
but I cared for her and fed her and cuddled her tight
and gave her all the love I could give.
She got better each day with nothing move then a sneeze you could say she was doing quite well,
she had a big heart and she loved to stay close
it wasn't very long she came out of her shell.
once she could she would run around the house
But she would always come back to me,
I would hold and kiss her and she would kiss me back
without even so much as a fuss.
She grew up to be the most beautiful pet
of which I couldn't ask for more
who would of thought a silly rat
is the pet I would most adore.
She's gone now the lord wanted her back
as sweet as she was I could surely see why,
although she is in a much happier place
thinking of her still makes I cry.
In loving memory of my pet rat {{BABETT}}
