Twice

The alleyway behind the shop had suffered a flood
I was tiptoeing through water and dodging mud

Ten yards away or maybe less than that
Across the pathway shot a rat!

On the way home, before the next lot of rain
I could not believe my eyes, I saw a rat again!

So I've got a question and I'll keep it concise
Did I see two rats or the same rat twice?

Oh, they were so much bigger than mice
Did I see two rats or the same rat twice?

I only went to buy some basmati rice
Did I see two rats or the same rat twice?

Perhaps I'll have to ask Citizen's Advice
Did I see two rats or the same rat twice?
