The Highway Rat

'Give me your buns and your biscuits. Give me your chocolate éclairs. For I am the Rat of the highway, and the Rat Thief never shares. ' Life is not safe for the other animals, as the villainous HIGHWAY RAT gallops along the highway, stealing their food. Clover from a rabbit; nuts from a squirrel - he even steals his own horse's hay. Then he finally meets his comeuppance, in the form of a cunning duck. A fabulous, rollicking rhyme, in the style of the famous Alfred Noyes poem, 'The Highwayman'.
