We’re the copters who’ve just flown in thousands of cats
And chuted them down on the armies of rats,
On the plague-threatened island of Borneo,
A bright green jewel in the blue sea below.
Once we came with DDT; now we come with cats.
One we sprayed mosquitoes, now we’ll fix the rats.
Looks like no one really thought the whole thing through…
Soon all the cats and rats will have a deadly rendezvous.

It was, all told,
a rather unusual assignment.
