I let AI tackle the illustration.

That’s a much more adorable rat than the real ones. And suspiciously dry. But it did a very nice job on the girl’s face and posture.

There’s a rat in the toilet, what ahm I gonna do?

There’s a rat in the toilet, what ahm I gonna do?

I’m gonna fix that rat, that’s what I’m gonna do, I’m gonna fix that rat!

If you give a rat a bubble bath, he’ll ask for a rubber ducky. He’ll play with the ducky, and give it a name.
Then he’ll ask for a big fluffy towel. He’ll dry himself and his new ducky. Then he’ll want a nap. You’ll have to find him a pillow.

When a rat meets your eye
as a poop session’s nigh
That’s disgusting

See the rodent’s eyes shine
like you’ve had too much wine
That’s revolting

Bells will ring, ting-a-ling-a-ling
Ting-a-ling-a-ling and you’ll scream, “Holy shit!”

Makes me pause, and think…”well, that’s an assy rat…Rats ass!”

This is priceless!

AI image is wrong; her saucer eyes are looking back at the door & the way her head is turned, she can’t even see the rat.

Is Jason or Freddy standing in the doorway? :astonished_face:

She’s looking at the 5-foot-tall rat in the doorway coming to retrieve her child that fell in the toilet.

If it’s a 15’ inflatable rat, maybe she’s on the team negotiating with the union.

Do you think rat catchers just put on an elbow-length glove and heave it into a covered trash can? Maybe they stun it first?

So you’re saying a Rodent. Of. Unusual. Size. ?

Pictures rat catcher with mini stun gun on his duty belt, right next to his paw cuffs.

That doesn’t seem to be a publicly available url. But I hope it’s wonderful.

Rodents Of Unusual Size? I don’t think they exist.

Inconceivable!

Damn, sorry, it works in my browser but probably because I had it created, LOL.

Here it is in another format:

‘Hi ya, baby!’

Fret,… I will not… Rather be dropping a lot
