| #13 Read something once about raising cats and rats in seperate 'farms' next to each other. Feed the rat meat to the cats and the cat meat to the rats and sell the cat fur for profit or something like that. |

| #3 Charming and clever, Beldar Unimble4745.. I love the repeated hard st/ts , the progression of near rhymes at the end of each line -- pomp, swamp, chomp, Trump — and the smoothness of swarm your swamp. And the shock of the final image of monsters voting against Trump in the midst of all that innocently bucolic horror. |
