Lured by the promise of treasures,
      the rat’s eyes shine bright
Unveiling secrets,
      hidden in midnightfall’s cover
Seeking fortune of adventure,
      heart racing in anticipation
Happiness not found in gold or greed,
      but in the thrills on the path

Keen for mischief, the rat plots its course
Nimble paws wield its gleaming blade
In the ink-black dark, mysteries unravel
Fearless and bold, yet evading the light
Ever daring, venturing into the night
