rats like to be tickled says the beautiful blonde
		---------------------------------------------------------

		rats like to be tickled
		says the beautiful blonde just now
		on the cnn headline news
		smiling then fading to the commercial
		
		a researcher at the bowling green university
		that's in ohio the heart of it all
		tickles them at the base of the neck
		
		and they smile and laugh
		the beautiful blonde says smiling nearly laughing
		on the cnn headline news
		one of cnn's many most beautiful mousy and otherwisey
		who smile at me and who smile at you
		
		and the researcher says people might laugh at his reasarch
		but that's okay because
		he is studying the biological basis of joy
		she radiates and now i radiate
		and ratiate
