New York City has its Rat Czar, |
Tom is the new "Director of Rodent Mitigation" and is responsible for ridding the Old Folks Home of its most notorious furry inhabitants. Like the New York City's Rat Czar, Tom will be in charge of rodent mitigation. Rat reduction is considered a Major Quality-of-Life and Health Challenge, not only for residents and staff, but also for the rodents themselves. In the mitigation process, Tom has promised to treat the rodents more humanly.
Tom believes that rat mitigation begins at birth: "If we can reduce the number rodent births, we can tackle our rat problem." Therefore, Tom partnered with Planned Parenthood to develop a humane program to lower the birth rate among the rodents of Asbury Village. So far the partnership is proposing developing tiny pills and tiny condoms to be used by birthing and non-birthing rodents. A sex education curriculum for all rodents of all ages is also being proposed.

It was between Tom and a singer |
Tom's and the Songwriter/Singer's true love was short lived; Tom found the Songwriter/Singer too needy. When Tom broke up with her, she immediately started writing and singing about their great romance and breakup:
The Songwriter/Singer |
"It only hurts this much right now / Was what I was thinking the whole time / Breathe in, breathe through, breathe deep, breathe out / I'll be getting over you my whole life"
"Cold was the steel of my axe to grind for the boys who broke my heart"
"I wonder if he knows he's all I think about at night"
"You kiss me in a way that's gonna screw me up forever"
"You did a number on me / But honestly, baby, who's counting?"
"I made you my temple, my mural, my sky / Now I'm begging for footnotes in the story of your life"
"It never ever occurred to you / That I can't say 'hello' to you / And risk another goodbye"
"They say all's well that ends well, but I'm in a new hell / Every time you double-cross my mind"
"You said it was a great love, one for the ages / But if the story's over, why am I still writing pages?"
The Songwriter/Singer is still writing and singing about Tom. But we all hope that Tom finds a new love in 2024 that isn't quite so needy.
"This is the most public yet of my many humiliations!" |
