This paper delves into the oft-overlooked intersection between naked mole rats and romantic poetry. Through a comprehensive analysis of underground verse, we explore the peculiar linguistic and semantic choices made by burrowing rodents when expressing their feelings towards one another. The results of our study provide compelling evidence that naked mole rats are not only capable of experiencing love, but also possess a surprisingly nuanced and sophisticated literary language to articulate it. We conclude that the time has come for scholars to recognize and celebrate the underappreciated contributions of these tiny subterranean poets to the canon of love poetry.
