The red-eyed rat was dead,
Overdosed on carbon di oxide,
Still she exanguinated it
Leaving no blood in its head.
Barely 3 ml (cherry-red) she drew,
From its tiny un-beating heart.
This chosen merciful euthanasia
For me was but quite new.
The things that followed were few,
(Like god-fearing devotees in a pew)
And when to an end, the day drew
My thoughts were lop-sided and askew.
For...As I have already said,
Its beady eyes were red,
Having no blood in its head
The red-eyed rat was dead.

P.S. Its obvious what my day had in store for me. Need I add that this was my first time working with lab-animals and that some of them were awfully cute and we killed them.
