Analysis of Ratatouille



A menu and a rodent
A Paris kitchen thing
And one young simple sous-chef
Made tantamount to King.
The smells and sights amazing
The  Lordly Critic smiled
The whispering Rat
Was under the hat.
And haut cuisine beguiled!
The others rats assisting
When huge feasts were required.
New bistro birthed
And hundreds served
And countless cooks got hired.
