A Sample from the Desert Anthology By Cricket Rohman
No Sweat!
It may be hot
Say one hundred and five
But down in my burrow
I’ll stay alive!
No Sweat! /clap, clap/ No Sweat! /clap, clap/
‘Cause I’m a kangaroo rat,
A ratty-tat-tat!
I’m a kangaroo rat,
A ratty-tat-tat!
***
A hawk or a snake
Might want me for their dinner.
If I jump real high . . .
I’ll be the winner.
No Sweat! /clap, clap/ No Sweat! /clap, clap/
‘Cause I’m a kangaroo rat,
A ratty-tat-tat!
I’m a kangaroo rat,
A ratty-tat-tat!
***
The weather is dry,
Not much rain.
So I roll in the dust
In my desert domain.
No Sweat! /clap, clap/ No Sweat! /clap, clap/
‘Cause I’m a kangaroo rat,
A ratty-tat-tat!
I’m a kangaroo rat,
A ratty-tat-tat!
***
I never drink water,
Yep, that’s what I said.
Just a pile of seeds
And I’m well fed.
No Sweat! /clap, clap/ No Sweat! /clap, clap/
‘Cause I’m a desert dwelling kangaroo,
Ratty-tat-tat!
