Lab Notes in the Key of D

A rat that gets shocked is stressed,
But a rat that gets shocked and

Who then gets to bite the hell
Out of the next rat’s less stressed,

Reads a droll note from Bob S.
The best way to ease your stress

Is to pass on some worse stress.
Class war’s when the poor prey on

The poor, when the lab rats eat
Pup’s from the next lab rat’s nest.

Best to be rich and well-armed,
I guess. But note, the lab’s owned

By death—lab techs all die, too,
As do rats that bite the rest.
