[ warning :This is an extremely silly post just like the previous ones ,but i now care about you and hence this warning, so if you are allergic to silly and/or have a history of being in fully self aware state, kindly take a can full of chocolates before you start reading this, and if you are allergic to chocolates too,oh man that would be real bad ]

Let me start this story post by telling you something about dreaming. One has to be careful, very careful about what you say in your dreams. sometimes you say something which may seem perfectly fine and next thing you know the cannabala tribes are boiling you in a huge pot making a stew or you are being chased by huge mammoths and dinosaurs ..oh man! that is not good.

There are hundred things you should avoid doing and a thousand things you should not say but the thing which starts with ‘rat’ is absolutely a big no-no if you happen to be in a jungle in your dreams

want to know why..well ok this why

 when my daughter was 7

we were having a very serious bedtime discussion about animal talk

and  i said moo says the cow i want a hat

and meow said the cat i wish cheese didn’t have so much fat

i am here  croaked a frog in the bog

i know hissed a snake hiding under a log

my daughter said what if they said things that rhymed with their name

i thought wow that would be some game

sure why not i said  we will play that game next time

and both of us fell asleep

♣ what happened after that ♣

i was in a jungle

somewhere in antarctica

there i met a flying octopus who told me

this story

about this one time

when a cat said- lets us just say things

that rhymes with our names

and everyone else agreed

so  the cat said rat a tat a tat

 rat said rat a tat a tat

 bat said rat a tat a tat too 

so did the duck-billed platypus

well he said his body was flat ,

and he didn’t want to say cuss fuss bus

and then for some reason every animal

found it cool and soon it became fashion to say

rat a tat a tat

and just to say that and be in fashion

they claimed they too had some flat body part

or an ancestor that was flat

or a name that was flat if you read it

on a  lot of homework day

So the elephant said its ear was flat

zebra said its stripes were flat

crocodile said flat was his laugh

except for hyena

who could not find anything

but 10 days later came up with an reason to say

rat a tat a tat

and he said his thoughts were flat

and every animal for the next one year just said

rat a tat a tat

but after a year they all got bored

and that was that

and now they hate it so much

that they run after anyone who says

rat a tat a tat

♠♠

so next time you go to a jungle

say what ever you want to

just not that which starts with rat.

That’s it,  now go to sleep

and remember, no matter what happens in dream

do not say that phrase that ends with a tat.

i hope it helps.
